Doll House Mystery

Strange things begin to happen in the Adams' household the moment Great Aunt Eugenia's doll house arrives for Priscilla. Mysterious sounds & disappearing dolls defy even the earnest detective work of Tim, Priscilla's older brother. Priscilla begins to think that the new doll house is haunted. Even Annie, The Adams' Siamese cat, seems mystified by "miniature ghosts" in the doll house. When THE DOLL HOUSE MYSTERY was first published in 1958, it appeared in The New York Times list of one hundred best children's books of the year. Since then two generations have been diverted by this small tale--inspired by an elaborate antique dolls' house in the writer's Washington Dolls' House & Toy Museum in Washington, D.C. & her Siamese cat. The cat, Annie, who lived to be one month short of her 21st birthday, is also the heroine of the sequel. THE TOY SHOP MYSTERY, inspired by an ancient toy shop in the Museum's collection. First published in 1960. Eleventh printing by the Museum.Jacobs, Flora G. is the author of 'Doll House Mystery' with ISBN 9780686315940 and ISBN 0686315944.
