Synopsis: Judith, a lonely, nearly grown girl, escapes from the dreary reality of life into "Little Child Land" behind the little green door in her grandmother's old house. In this dream like place she meets three generations of her ancestors, also Judiths. "Little Child Land" contains the little child selves of adults in real life, living on to help in remembering the memories of childhood and reliving them when called upon by their real selves. "These children are boys and girls who grew up, and left behind them their little child selves when they become young men and women. Here they never grow old, never grow tired of fairy tales or games or frolics, never are too big to be hugged and petted and kissed. They are always just the same, doing over and over again the things they did when they were real children, out in the big world." In the story, Judy's task is to awaken the child in her Aunt and Great Grandmother.
