I’ll have to find a copy and see for myself. I think I read it back in early college days…

The Doll’s House is about the little family of dolls, and their owners get left an old dollhouse, and they go about fixing it up and making it nice for the dolls to live in. Tottie is the main doll, she’s little and wooden, and then there’s a slightly anxious Mr. Plantagenet and a flighty Birdie and an adorable little boy doll called Apple.

I loved her book Thursday’s Children, but none of the rest I’ve read touched me as much. I’m pretty sure I’ve read the Doll’s House, but I don’t remember much about it now. You’ll have to remind me!

I am so pleased – The Doll’s House is my favorite one of her kids’ books. I love it when Apple keeps falling down the stairs, and the little cushions they have made for the chairs in the house… lovely.

I did not love Wizard of Earthsea but I want to love Ursula LeGuin, and this could be my way to do it!

Ella – Thanks again – really, it was such a nice surprise – and right after my birthday too!

I hope you like them all as much as I did.

Blackbriar does sound awesome!
