"I started sewing for my troll dolls when I was about 6 or 7 years old. (A whole lifetime ago!)
At that time my choice fabric was felt. Over the years I had moved onto sewing machines and other fabrics. The return to felt and hand sewing has been such a warm return to something I cherished as a child"
Pat, Florida

Written by Martin Waddell

Illustrated by Salley Mavor

Mary wishes she had a garden to play in. “Why not make one?” suggests her mother. So, in an old cooking pot, Mary plants a miniature garden. She paints a hollyhock wall around it and makes a clay boy to put in the garden. Something strange happens and Mary finds that she has crossed over the hollyhock wall and is standing in the garden.
