Synopsis

First Edition (Macmillan & Company LTD: NAP, SD). Published in 1963. Written by Rumer Godden. Illustrated by Jean Primrose. Hardcover in Dust Jacket. 'When Gem moves into The House Next Door, Nona and Belinda think she's stuck up and vows to have nothing to do with her. But the beautiful Japanese doll in her window soon attracts their attention. They name her Little Plum because of the plum blossom decorating her clothes, but unlike Nona's Japanese dolls, Miss Happiness and Miss Flower, Little Plum seems sad, unloved and uncared for. Will the three girls, and the three dolls, ever become friends? A beautiful illustrated cover edition of Little Plum, Rumer Godden's classic story about family and friendship.'
