In 1930s London, three sisters of the Carne family refuse to separate fantasy from reality. Deirdre, the eldest, works as a journalist; Katrine is an aspiring actress, and Sheil still has a governess. Together, they lead a bohemian life in London, inventing stories as they did as children, from their talking toys to their imaginary friendship with Judge Toddington. However, when Deirdre meets the judge's wife, a clash occurs between fantasy and reality. Can the Carne sisters shed their childhood inventions? Will the Toddingtons accept these eccentric girls? Who can assure if the toys talk or if the judge wears lavender silk pajamas? This novel, published in 1931, is a classic of English interwar narrative that explores the power of imagination and the difficulty of growing up.
