It’s a beautiful book. It sort of felt like I was looking through someone’s Edwardian house with how much detail there was and how realistic the proportions of things in the pictures were.
This isn't really a book-book that you can read, but paper dolls/a dollhouse in book form. I loved this book so much when I was little (I think I got if for a birthday)--I'm currently experiencing massive book lover's guilt because I just discovered a box of my most beloved childhood books that I'd put in my parents' basement for nearly 10 years.
