The House of Serendipity, Sequins and Secrets by Lucy Ivison, illustrated by Catharine Collingridge

 


Class barriers are dropped as two young girls plot to help an older sibling and her friend wow the rest of the world. 

Myrtle and Sylvie become a team. First of all they design and make a superb dress for Sylvie’s sister Delphine.  Then they become involved with Agapantha Portland-Prince who wants to wear trousers for her coming-out ball and also wants to disguise herself as a man so that she can go on an exotic adventure.

It almost all works but a misunderstanding almost spells disaster.

Lucy Ivison tells a good story and Catharine Collingridge charms us with her exqusitie fashion drawings in The House of Serendipity, Sequins and Secrets
