A heartwarming single short story (4000 words) set in England at the start of the Second World War, focusing on family and relationships in adversity, told from the viewpoint of a young girl, Violet Palmer, whose favourite toys are the damaged toy soldiers rejected by her deaf father's factory, and kept in an old Peek Freans biscuit tin that gives the story its name. Featuring Debbie Young's characteristic gentle English humour and warmth. This is the first story of Debbie Young's ever published, back in the 1980s in a now defunct English women's magazine.
