On Christmas Eve a naughty little girl slips down the snow stairs into Naughty Children Land, a dreamland of strange lessons between good-night and good-morning.

Alice Corkran's 1887 children's fantasy, richly illustrated by Gordon Browne, sends its heroine through a moral dream-adventure in the Victorian tradition of Alice and George MacDonald. Charming, imaginative, gently improving. Read it for a lovely period dream-journey of repentance and wonder.
