The Christmas Doll

(3) 4-6 In this old-fashioned tale, set in the 1850s, Lucy and her little sister, Glory, find themselves in dire circumstances after they run away from the orphanage. Lucy obtains a temporary job embroidering hearts on dolls and sneaks Glory into the shop each night after closing, along with a friendly urchin who looks after Glory during the daytime. The sentimental tone and Dickensian setting create the right mood for this sweet story about dolls and sisterhood.
