| Do you like stories about dolls? One of my favorite "doll" authors is Rumer Godden. I think the first of her books that I read was Miss Happiness and Miss Flower. Four of her shorter books about dolls are published in one volume, thus the name; Four Dolls. Impunity Jane is an adventurous little doll. The Fairy Doll is about a young girl growing up with a fairy doll's help. The Story of Holly and Ivy tells how a doll and a girl overcome obstacles to better their Christmas. Candy Floss lives a special life as a good luck charm. I have purposely made my descriptions rather vague so that you may enjoy the stories more, as you read them. Miss Godden wrote other books. At least seven of them are doll stories if I remember correctly. Do you have a favorite doll story? More than one? Do tell! |

I will have to see if I can find those books to read. They sound so cute!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book about a doll is Hitty, The First Hundred Years by Rachael Field. It combines my love of dolls and history.
Loooove Hitty! I have these two loves, too. Social history is my favorite area. The way people lived and the way they thought interest me more that political history. :)
ReplyDeleteI've read a children's novel called "The Doll People" and it was pretty good!
ReplyDeleteI read the sequel. I'm not sure, but I think I may have read "The Doll People," as well. I know I read "The Runaway Dolls." Ann M. Martin writes about such adventuresome dolls!
