Book Synopsis
In a disused railway tunnel lives Pollyhester, dressmaker to the stars. Celebrities dream of Pollyhester’s designs, teased out of ancient recycled fabrics and her wonderous imagination. But when Fashion Dictators change the fashion, celebrity Iverna makes extraordinary demands on poor Pollyhester. She summons her loyal helpers, who include a fallen dancing angel, a lovesick Viking motorcycle courier and a host of sinister spiders, to save the day. Beautifully illustrated, and simply told, this enchanting tale will captivate both young and old.

About the author: '...I was so in awe of her works that I contacted her and she kindly invited me to her work shop. I didn't expect Louise to have purple hair or anything like that but I knew I would step into a den of unique creativity and be swallowed up by the work of a true artist. She is one of those people you meet once in a lifetime...a workaholic obsessed with the desire to create for art's sake...' American Fashion Magazine, 1980
