Summary Mr Nick and Mrs Jolley are friends. They meet every morning on the seven o'clock train to the city. Mr Nick knits jumpers for his twenty-two nieces and nephews and Mrs Jolley knits toys. They both love knitting and they love each other's company. One morning Mrs Jolley isn't on the train, she is ill in hospital. Mr Nick misses his friend and works very hard to make something very special to cheer her up. This touching story of a bond between friends is simply told with a good deal of rhythm and appeal to young children
