On the Dorset coast, Chilcombe is a mansion that has seen better times. There live the Seagrave children, led by Cristabel, the eldest of the three siblings. They grow up in a peculiar environment, nourished by diverse readings and overheard conversations. One day, a whale arrives on the shore, and Cristabel decides to claim it. Together with Flossie and Digby, they create a theater in its skeleton, entertaining the house's visitors. As the years go by, the children's lives pass happily, oblivious to the events on the continent, where war is looming. However, history calls them, and Cristabel, Flossie, and Digby are forced to take on an unexpected role, seeking a way to write their own story away from home. Cristabel always desired a life like those in her books, but few girls starred in those stories.
