Annabel's House

I had this book as a kid and have been looking for it every since. And I found it here at a beyond perfect price! Thank you for bringing me back to my childhood

This book with paper dolls that 'live' in the rooms of the book has an old-world feel to it. My daughters loved it soI bought a second one for future granddaughters.

It is wonderful experience to explore the nooks and crannies of this antique Edwardian house. One of my favorite books from childhood because it allowed me to use my own imagination to create my own characters with the paper doll family which comes along in nifty pockets on the inside cover. Experiencing this book was comparable to playing with my very own dollhouse, but it included extra details, such as the mouse's tail sticking out of a pantry, which made Annabel's House a mystical and spendid place to be. The colorful and detailed illustrations are what make this book so special and wonderful gift for children of all ages, as long as they have an imagination.

The book was only packed in a thin plasticbag (from Us to Dk) Very worn and missing dolls that i know should be placed in the backside of the book. I'm sad because it was a nostalgic gift for a friend, because it is a wonderful and special book.

I borrowed a decrepit version of this book from our library before I started a hunt to buy it. Before there was I Spy there were books like this hiding surprises in their pictures.Heartwarming and traditional (mom, dad, brother, sister, pets) it has lots of flaps and "paper" people and props to place on the pages but they do slide all over, without the modernity of velcro!

Came in with a cute note. Love the book, great condition.

Personally I wouldn't let children anywhere near this book - it's far too good for them ! A series of sumptuously illustrated (and furnished) rooms in a rather 'up market' Edwardian villa.Each page is full of hidden flaps and doorways giving access to other rooms or pieces of furniture. The rooms are populated by 25 cardboard cut-outs of the family , servants , pets and 'period details' - all carefully designed to get lost or bent. If you can find a copy that's more or less complete and perfect it will probably appreciate faster than your own house. But don't let the kids get their grubby little mits on it !

Love this book. Difficult to find anything with the name Annabel. No words, but lots of flaps for little ones to lift and see what is underneath.

Delightful, and in good order; marvellous value!Dawn Taylor
