Join Milly-Molly-Mandy and her friends in this gorgeous picture book adventure, adapted from one of Joyce Lankester Brisley's original classic stories, newly illustrated by Catharine Collingridge.
Milly-Molly-Mandy lives in a tiny village in the heart of the countryside, where everyday life is full of adventures. The Village Show is coming up, and Milly-Molly-Mandy and her friend, Billy Blunt, are excited to enter their very own miniature gardens. But when Billy's garden is ruined the very day before the show, can Milly-Molly-Mandy come up with an idea to help?
Milly-Molly-Mandy Makes a Garden is a charming picture book adaptation of one of Joyce Lankester Brisley's much-loved classic stories, and is the perfect introduction for younger readers to this enduringly popular heroine - not forgetting her friends, little-friend-Susan and Billy Blunt!
