Product Description
'This crazy world whirled about her, men and women dwarfed by toys and puppets, where even the birds were mechanical and the few human figures went masked.... She was in the night again, and the doll was herself.' Melanie walks in the midnight garden wearing her mother's wedding dress; naked, she climbs the apple tree in the black of the moon. Disaster ensues, transporting Melanie from the rural comfort to London, to the Magic Toyshop. Using magic and myth, this is a story of sexual awakening.
