Occasionally, the stories include other friends such as Miss Muggin's niece Jilly Bunchy, a slightly younger girl who first appears in the story 'Milly-Molly-Mandy gets a New Dress', and Jessamine, a wealthy girl whose family often vacations at The House with the Iron Railings. Her friends are Billy Blunt, a slightly older boy whose parents run a corn shop and Little-Friend-Susan, who lives in the cottage down the road. Her parents, grandparents, aunt and uncle also live in the cottage. She lives in "the nice white cottage with the thatched roof" on the edge of a small village. Her adventures are the everyday events of village life: running errands, going to school, making presents, fishing, picnicking, and so on. There was a large wall beside the Orphanage and she decided that she was going to climb it one day to see what was behind it and she finds a path and the path leads to a little cottage. Milly-Molly-Mandy's real name is Millicent Margaret Amanda, but she was given the nickname because of the length of her full name. This was a story about a little Orphan girl named Mandy, she was always looking for a little bit more. Translations have been published in at least nine languages, including Finnish, Polish and Icelandic. The illustrations show Milly-Molly-Mandy growing from about age four through to age eight. The books follow a little girl, Milly-Molly-Mandy, who wears a pink-and-white striped dress.
