The White Elephants

by Elsie Gambrell

"Hello! I’m Penny and this is my little pussy, Fluff," Penny greeted the Lucas twins, Natalie and Nigel.
All set to keep the unknown Fraser children firmly in their place, the Lucas twins were disarmed by the lively little Penny, and her quiet, elder brother, Andrew.
Brought together by the marriage of Mr. Lucas to Mrs. Fraser, the four children spend a holiday together while their respective parents prepare a new flat for the six of them. Their eventual delight in each other’s company, their mutual love of animals and their combined efforts to gather articles for a white elephant stall quickly bind the four children into a close family unit.
How successful they are in realising their dearest wishes to own a pony, dog, cat and piglet you can read for yourself in this charming tale specially written for the younger age group.
