Hailing from Yorkshire, Evelina is the warm-hearted, kindly manager of White’s Toyshop, the family business of her deceased husband. A fixture in affluent Tynemouth, White’s has been long patronised by the Marshalls – that is until Geoffrey controversially chooses lesser-quality rivals Reed’s to produce the factory Christmas stockings.
With her son at war, charitable Evelina employs women such as housebound Kitty and wounded soldiers such as Kenny, helping to make beautifully crafted teddy bears, doll’s houses and rocking horses.
