Dotty Parsons knows the noises in the chimneys aren't jackdaws nesting as the old cook says. After all, it's December and who ever heard of a bird that whistles?
But it is only when the feisty young Welsh girl finds her dead mother's locket hidden up the playroom chimney that she really begins to suspect there's more to the Calendar House than meets the eye. What Dotty doesn't know is that the locket is the key to a long lost magic…and keeping it is going to be a whole lot more trouble than she had bargained for.
