![]() ![]() I will say that the Kindle price is outrageous even for a charming Rumer Godden story. But then it’s about wishes and Christmas so it can be as improbable as it wants and still be charming. This is a charming – if somewhat improbable – story. The Story of Holly and Ivy is a Christmas classic by Rumer Godden, beautifully illustrated by Christian Birmingham. But Ivy has no money, and the shop is closed. Ivy has never had a doll to love, but when she sees Holly, she knows at once that this doll is meant specially for her. ![]() On Christmas morning a little lost orphan girl finds herself outside the toyshop. But the day ends and Holly is left in the window. Holly, a small doll dressed especially for Christmas, wishes hard for her own special child. It is Christmas Eve and, for the toys in Mr Blossom’s shop, it is their last chance to be sold. ![]()
