The Brontes Went to Woolworths

Klappentext Meet the Carne sisters! Deirdre! Katrine! and Sheil! growing up together in 1930s London. Eldest sister Deirdre is a journalist! Katrine a fledgling actress! and young Sheil is still with her governess; together they live a life unchecked by their mother in their bohemian town house. Irrepressibly imaginative! the sisters cannot resist making up stories! as they have since childhood; from their talking nursery toys! Ironface the Doll and Dion Saffyn the pierrot! to their fulsomely imagined friendship with real high-court Judge Toddington--whom! since Mrs. Carne's jury duty! they have affectionately called Toddy. But when Deirdre meets Toddy's real-life wife at a charity bazaar! the sisters are forced to confront the subject of their imaginings--and this may mean the end of their childish innocence.
