The Story of Holly and Ivy
Barbara Cooney
Rumer Godden's warmly comforting story is here given picture book treatment in this well-designed and generously sized edition. Barbara Cooney's pictures exactly capture the old-fashioned feel of this story of a doll (Holly), a little girl (Ivy), a policeman and his wife and a lot of wishing - which of course comes true. The Christmas setting of small town, toyshop, bleak outside and cosy interiors is beautifully realised.
