They all live in a small corner shop, a tailors come haberdashery in Eastbourne.

Albert is an old tailor with a secret, he has a magic sewing machine. All his work is perfect and every stitch a dream. The machine is called Clackety Clara after the first owner, Great Aunt Clara. Clara was a court dressmaker and made dresses for duchesses and queens. Tales say she even made a dress for a little cleaning maid that became a princess. Some believe it is her magic that is in the noisy old treadle that sits in the shop window on the corner of South Street.

The books is crammed with wonderful depictions of local Eastbourne characters including the fearsome Lady Iris Pratt, the awful mayor, Arthur Crown, and even a group of singing pigeons.
