This story really intrigued me. I can't remember reading it.
I have it in my copy of Enid Blyton's Christmas Tales (below).

Thanks for that, Pete. I hadn't read that story before - it's really cheering.

What a lovely little story.

Even though it's a Christmas story, reading it today (Thursday before Easter) the penny purse reminds me a little bit of Maundy Money.
