It's 1953, the year Elizabeth is to be crowned Queen of England. Elsie Kettle ca
n't wait to go to London to see the celebrations on Coronation Day. Elsie lives
with her Nan - her mum works as a showgirl, so she's not around very often.
S
pirited and imaginative, but often lonely, Elsie longs for a best friend. Luckil
y, she and Nan are very close; Elsie just wishes she was allowed a cat to keep h
er company sometimes. Then tragedy strikes.
