This collection of classic stories celebrates the relationship between child and treasured toy. This anthology includes tales of Rag Bag, by Ruth Ainsworth; the doll which saved Vasilissa from the fearsome witch Baba Yaga, as retold by Naomi Lewis; the adventures of Hans Anderson's Steadfast Tin Soldier; and the enchanted rocking horse Rollande, as told in the title story by Laurence Housman.
