A magical book from my childhood that my grandma picked up for me at a used booksale....she got some charming gems for me back then that I still treasure.
What a sweet treasure of a book! It is a shame it is no longer in print and very hard to find (thank you, ILL!) Yes, it is old-fashioned -- but at heart it reflects the timeless concept of a doll wishing to fulfill its purpose and be played with and loved by a child. The storytelling is charming with all sorts of lovely little details that make it come alive. I'll include some excerpts below for those who aren't able to get their hands on the book itself.

A sweet, old-fashioned story of a forgotten doll and her adventures. A childhood favorite!

This was one of my all time favorites as a little girl on the early 1970s. My edition of the book is much older, copyright 1925 and 4th edition on 1965. Helped instill a love of dolls on my heart that exists to this very day (2014)
This delightful little book was a gift to my young daughter from her grandmother in 1975. I saved it hoping for a granddaughter some day. That didn't happen so I will give it to another little girl to enjoy. I read it today with bittersweet memories. My daughter Wendy died in 1991.
I adored this book as a child. I can still remember the plain red cover and Coolest of Cool, it came with an actual little wooden doll. I can't help but think of my grandmother and her good taste in books when I remember this gift.
Sweet and adorable story about a lonely doll abandoned in the attic who finally finds a new child to love her.
