Holiday at the Dew Drop Inn is the third and final book in the series initiated by The Family from One End Street (published 1937) and continued with the long-delayed Further Adventures of the Family from One End Street (published 1956). Eve Garnett wrote it as a period piece, probably set in 1938. It describes Kate Ruggles' summer holiday at the Dew Drop Inn in the fictional village of Upper Cassington, which is probably meant to be in Sussex. It was first published by Heinemann in 1962, and first appeared in Puffin Books in 1966.
