Candy Floss and Impunity Jane

by Rumer Godden

'Not for sale,' said Jack when Clementina Davenport wanted to buy the pretty little doll Candy Floss from his coconut shy. But spoilt little Clementina wasn't taking no for an answer.

Impunity Jane belonged in a pocket having adventures, but the children who owned her kept her shut up in a boring old dolls' house - that is, until Gideon came along.

Reviews

[Trudy Pomerantz · Rating 3 out of 5]

Not one of Godden's stronger books, but if your daughter enjoys reading about dolls it is still a worthwhile read.
