The books in this section are usually hardcover and in decent shape, though we'll sometimes offer hard-to-find books in lesser condition at a reduced price. Though we often put images of the book with their original dust jackets, the copies here won't always (or even often) have them. If that is important to you, please call ahead or say so in the order comments!
The author says of the story--"I like it better than anything I have ever done and I wrote it with the idea of making it as exciting, as full of adventure and suspense, as any Edgar Wallace mystery," We feel sure the Doll family agreed with her when they found themselves cast away on a tropical island, with all sorts of unknown terrors lurking in the jungles around them, and with the members of the family scattered to the four corners of their new domain.
No little girl who owns a doll's house, no grown-up who remembers the doll's house of their youth, should miss this tale. Anne Parrish knows just exactly the sort of things that might happen on a tropical island to a family of dolls, and she's put the other things that humans know in the footnotes, which, she says, are "the plums in the cake."
