It is a whole new world that tantalisingly untangles itself and after their initial adventures the girls cannot help but go back for more.They discover and become embroiled in the lives of Annie, Ada and Belle, three glamorous sisters totally immersed in their theatrical lives whether on of off stage. They also meet Betty, the sisters most staunch friend and supporter and young Edward her nephew who are somehow always in the background at every twist and turn.The girls cannot prevent the adventures from happening and have to continue with them until each thread is unravelled and they have managed to make sense of it all. There is ultimately a final piece of the puzzle to be found before life can ever be normal in the new house.(This story is loosely based on my own experiences and on the lives of my great aunts who were on the stage for many years and amongst the original Tiller Girls.)
