About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of The Story of a Calico Clown by Laura Lee Hope. Read in English by Nan Dodge The Calico Clown and the other toys in the toy shop are planning a night of fun and merriment once the people leave so that they can come alive and do as they please. But a rude boy named Archibald ruins their fun. And so the adventure of the Calico Clown begins in this seventh of the Make Believe Stories. (Summary by Nan Dodge) [This book contains racial prejudices that were once commonplace. They are retained, as originally written in this recording, because to do otherwise would be to deny they existed.] Laura Lee Hope is a pseudonym used by the Stratemeyer Syndicate for several series of children's and young adult novels.
