In this welcome reissue, Nona is sent from India to live with relatives in England. She's homesick and bedeviled by her jealous cousin Belinda until a great-aunt sends her two Japanese dolls that need her love and protection. Enlisting the help of her new family to provide an authentic Japanese house for the dolls, Nona finds herself settling into her new life.
