Molly's Surprise

In this story Molly and her family are getting ready for Christmas, but it doesn't really seem quite like Christmas since their father is still away in England as a doctor in the war.

It also won't be the normal type of Christmas since, due to the war, most gifts will be of a practical nature and toys will be few and far between. In addition, Molly wonders if her father is going to send some gifts to her and the others in time for Christmas.

It's a very sedate type of story this time. The historical section goes into more detail on why there were shortages of so many things and what people did to cope.
