This is the story of Miss Flora McFlimsey, an old forgotten doll who lived in an attic with a torn box of tiddlywinks, a fat sheep on wheels, and an old, old doll's trunk.

Once upon a time it had been different. That was long ago when she belonged to and was loved by the little girl with the red-topped shoes. But now it was Christmas Eve. Almost anything could happen, and a wonderful thing did!

This endearing little book has the shining simplicity and the ageless appeal that is felt in the best loved for children the world over.
