Inhaltsangabe

A delightful and practical guide to creating a charming doll's house using simple materials. This vintage volume offers step-by-step instructions for constructing an entire miniature world from paper and cardboard.

Recognising that traditional dolls' houses can be costly and difficult to obtain, in How To Build Your Own Doll's House, Lucas provides an accessible alternative that encourages imagination and careful handiwork. Beyond the house itself, the book includes detailed guidance on making indoor and outdoor furniture, figurines, utensils, clothing, and decorative details, allowing readers to furnish and populate their creation in full.

Contents include sections on fireplaces, chairs, tables, beds, wardrobes, dressing tables, wash-hand stands, bookshelves and books, sofas, towel-horses, clothes baskets, and more, as well as chapters devoted to the inhabitants of the house, dressing dolls, dolls' dinner parties, and dolls' flats. Clear explanations and charming touches make the book suitable both for children, with adult guidance, and for adults interested in traditional crafts and miniature making.

Über die Autorin bzw. den Autor

E. V. Lucas (Edward Verrall Lucas) (1868-1938) was a prolific English writer, essayist, and publisher, known for his wit, versatility, and contributions to British literature during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Born in Eltham, Kent, Lucas was educated at various schools before beginning his career in journalism and publishing. One of Lucas's notable achievements was his work at the publishing house Methuen & Co., where he played a significant role in the literary world, helping to bring important works to the public. He was also a close associate of many literary figures of his time, including J. M. Barrie, the author of Peter Pan, and Hilaire Belloc. Beyond his own writings, Lucas was a respected editor and anthologist, compiling various collections of essays and poetry that highlighted the literary tastes of his era. He had a deep appreciation for the works of earlier English writers, and his efforts helped preserve and promote their legacies. Throughout his life, Lucas remained a popular and respected figure in British literary circles. His works continue to be appreciated for their wit, elegance, and the warmth with which they capture the essence of human experience.
