Looking for books for DD who loves her dolls' house. I have 'Five Dolls in A House' by Helen Clare, and 'Tilly's House' by Faith Jacques which are both really lovely stories, but more suggestions welcome!

Oh yes...Two Bad Mice!

My girls have both adored this book.

I remember reading The Dolls House by Rumer Godden as a child.

Seconding the rumer godden one! That's just what I came here to post!

"The little girl and the tiny doll" is about a doll who lives in a freezer in a shop and has made it into a home with a matchbox bed etc. she plays tennis with frozen peas.

Thank you!

I have often wondered what the book about a dolls house that I loved as a child was called - I have just googled 'Five Dolls in a House' and that is it!!!

I used to take this out of the library time after time - Jaqueline, the 'paying guest'..magic!!!!

Another Rumer Godden one - Miss Happiness and Miss Flower. How I loved, loved, loved reading that book and still do

The Serial Garden is a wonderful story by Joan Aiken. Not as happy as many of her other stories.

I was going to say "Tottie the story of a dolls house" by Rumer Godden but have been beaten to it.

Savoy, I am sure I remember that one!

Beatrix Potter? Can't remember which one - but the mice go into the dollshouse and realise everything is pretend.

I loved The Dolls House by Rumer Godden but it was really quite dark.

mrssmiling · 23/01/2015 22:39

Many thanks for all those suggestions - I remember 'Miss Happiness and Miss Flower' - a lovely story!

It's not a story but this is lovely: www.amazon.co.uk/Queens-Dolls-House-Royal-Collection/dp/1905686269/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1423131900&sr=8-1&keywords=queen+mary%27s+dolls+house
