Polly's parents died ten months earlier so she moves in with her spinster aunts at a seaside town. On Christmas Eve Polly longs to leave the door open in case three wise men arrive on three ships, according to the song. Aunt Constantia, however, double locks the doors and takes the key to bed with her. Her caution cannot stop wise men from visiting their cottage.
A delightful Christmas tale
*I am highly recommending it but am not sure if modern children readers will appreciate/enjoy it as much as I did.
