The Family from One End Street And Some of Their Adventures by Eve Garnett
Set in the 1930s, Mr and Mrs Ruggles have seven children who all had quite different ways of enjoying themselves. The children include Kate, who won a scholarship, Lily Rose, whose good deeds sometimes turned out badly and Jim, who became a member of the gang of the Black Hand.
Eve Garnett was born in 1900 in Worcestershire, and studied art at Chelsea Polytechnic and the Royal Academy School of Art. Whilst a student, she sketched the people of the East End slums and was haunted by the poverty she had witnessed, resolving to do something to bring the plight of the working-class family to people's attention. The Family from One End Street was originally published by Frederick Muller in 1937, followed by The Further Adventures of the Family from One End Street in 1956, and Holiday at Dew Drop Inn in 1962. She died in 1991.
