A little about the story
Peggy is a little girl with a well-loved wooden doll called Rose and a newer, finer one. One night she finds herself in Toyland, where toys come to life and she meets all sorts of odd characters, from Colonel Jim to Mr. Emma.
Archibald Marshall, a novelist best known for his books about English country life, wrote this magical adventure for a young girl, and it has the gentle humour of a story first told aloud.
