The classic story of sisters, stage school and stardom, in hardcover, with classic Ruth Gervis illustrations.
Pauline, Petrova and Posy are found as orphaned babies in different parts of the world by eccentric fossil collector and explorer Gum. He adopts them, takes them to his London home and leaves them in the care of his niece Sylvia and the family Nurse. Then off he goes to continue his exploring, saying that he'll be back in five years' time.
When the three little girls are old enough, they choose the surname Fossil for themselves and vow to make the name famous. At first they lead privileged and sheltered lives. But when Gum fails to return after five years, Sylvia's money begins to run out.
First she is forced to take in some boarders - an engaging and eclectic mix of characters - but then she decides that the girls should go to acting school. It's not long before the Fossils learn that being a star isn't as easy as they thought
