About This Book

The narrative begins when children find a notice that all dolls in their village will be alive on a certain morning. It follows a young girl who tidies and mends her dolls' house in eager anticipation, and then traces the lively, often whimsical episodes that follow as the dolls awaken: tea parties, games, tiny household scenes and excursions through the village. Intimate domestic detail and playful fantasy combine to celebrate imagination, care, and the pleasures and responsibilities of childhood play.
