About this ebook
This vintage book is a comprehensive and accessible manual for building dolls houses and furniture. Provided are detailed, step-by-step instructions for building a variety of houses, beginning with a simple model schoolhouse that could be made cheaply by children, and going on to more complicated tasks that eventually lead to the construction of a nineteenth century drapers shop and flat. Contents include: “A School A Confectioner's Shop and Café”, “A Late Victorian Draper's Shop”, “A Westmorland Farmhouse”, “A Tall Villa”, “A Sweet Shop”, “A Hunting Lodge”, “A Miniature Doll's House”, “A Public House”, “A Cabinet in the Form of a Doll's House”, etc. Many vintage books such as this are becoming increasingly scarce and expensive. We are republishing this volume now in an affordable, high-quality edition complete with a specially commissioned new introduction on dolls.
