More adventures with the Ruggles family from One End Street.
Kate loves the country so much that kind Mr and Mrs Wildgoose invite her
to spend the whole of the summer holidays with them at The Dew Drop Inn,
so she says good-bye to her mother and father and her six brothers and
sisters, and sets off by train with a shiny black mackintosh and some
brand-new gum-boots. The Wildgooses are just as kind as she remembered
them, and there is a big excitement for her when The Dew Drop Inn is to
take part in the concert and flower show. Kate is kept busy learning how
to make cakes and jam, discovering where all sorts of wild flowers grow,
and writing an essay. But the most difficult thing of all is deciding
which of her poems to recite at the concert.
