AbstractHistoryArchive Description

All of the dolls in the doll shop play and dance at night, but none wants to play with Christobel who is regarded as ugly because her eyes are always shut and she never talks. When Judy comes to buy a special doll, she takes Christobel from her box and discovers that she opens her eyes and says 'Maa-Maa'. Judy takes Christobel home and all of the other dolls were very sorry that they hadn't played with her.
