Okay, so . . . I didn't enjoy this book. It was pretty well-done, but just so sad. I know some people do like it; but personally, I would say that if you want to read Rumer Godden, try "The Kitchen Madonna" or "The Story of Holly and Ivy." They're much happier.One of my favorites from childhood. The theme that beautiful doesn't always equal good or kind is an important one to learn, and the lesson of self-sacrifice took my breath away when I first read the ending as a child. I couldn't believe what had happened! Part of me felt loss and wished that the author hadn't let that happen; the other part of me realized that it made sense and was actually beautiful though sad.
Got a minute?Once upon a time I fell in love with a book at a babysitters house. I was a precocious reader pre-k, and found my treasure in a strangers back room. The book had no covers and not even the first and last chapters. All that remained of it were the middle bits, torn up and smudged, but that was enough: I loved it. Every time I went to sitter's house, I was shushed off to that corner, where the kids who'd grown and gone piled cast offs for kidlets like me. . . I loved that book.
The Dolls' House is about a group of dolls who all come together and are owned by two little girls, Emily and Charlotte. The main doll, Tottie, was the girls' Great-Great Aunt's and had been passed down to them. The other dolls that they have were all ones that were given to them. The dolls all want a doll house to live in, so when Emily and Charlotte recieve the house from their Great-Great Aunt, the dolls are happy. The girls' want to fix up the house, but don't have enough money to get what
And the moral of this toy story is: If you're beautiful and absolutely, positively, so full of yourself, you can treat others however you want, be as thoughtless, narcissistic, selfish and rude as you want, and you will be rewarded with all you've always wished for, even if you've literally committed murder.'The Doll's House' has a few cute and charming moments, but it's mostly about how that dollhouse is remade after decades in the loft, and how the two little girls, Emily and Charlotte, go
A lovely little book that reminded me a lot of my childhood.
For Tottie and her doll family, life is wonderful, though the family longs for a dollhouse home of their own. When the doll family does receive a dollhouse, it arrives with trouble in the form of the wicked doll Marchpane, and the difficulties begin.This is a charming story of dolls with delightfully wide range of human-like behaviors, with their children who also exhibit a markedly wide range of behaviors. A charming story.
