Lot Miniature Doll
Does anyone remember who wrote this old children’s story? Or where I can find it?
It was called The Day the Dolls came Alive, or Day of the Dolls, something to that effect. The story was about a Little Girl whose wish was granted, and all the dolls everywhere came alive. A lot of the dolls were damaged with cracks and missing limbs and hair, so a miniature carriage came to take them to get repaired. The little girl went with it, and after they were repaired they were allowed to pick out doll’s clothes that grew on trees. The girl picked some for her doll at home, including a parasol. The story ended with all the children and dolls going to the beach.
That’s all I remember. It was written at the latest in the 1950′s, because it had a reference to a black servant doll that made pancakes for the Doll Family. It might have been in a collection of stories, like a Grimm’s Fairy Tale book, but it was definetly not written by them. Does anyone know where I can find the name and author?
The story of live dolls;: Being an account by Josephine Scribner Gates of how, on a certain June morning, all of the dolls in the village of Cloverdale came alive
Seems this is a series of books by Josephine Scribner Gates and might be what you are looking for. Saddly if it is these books aren’t exactly cheep.
