Photographs of an amazing dollhouse made years ago.
I always wanted a dollhouse when I was little, and never had one, so this was very cool to look through.
Everything in the dollhouse is so realistic (the fully stocked wine cellar has real wine in the bottles, the bookcases have printed books, the linen closets contain extra blankets), and so believable that my Mom, when flipping through the pages, thought that it was photos of a full-sized house.

Great pictures and information. If you can’t make it to Windsor Castle to see the real thing, this book is an excellent substitute.

This was a Xmas gift from my mom, so I was inclined to like it for that alone. It also reminded me of the three doll's houses I received on diff Xmases as a child. The description in this is interesting, but the real star are the photographs. This book is from the 1980s, and there are more recent ones, but this one delighted me. The large images showing whole rooms as well as the close-ups of particular tiny items. Delightful. I wish they'd shown a picture to show how the garage and garden drawers at the base work. That description didn't quite do it for me. I guess I'll have to travel to Windsor Castle and see the actual thing. It did its job of making me want more, making me want to see the actual object. No matter how good the facsimile, the real thing is worth it.

Amazing peek into one of the world's premier doll's houses. If you're a fan of miniatures, I highly recommend!

I need to see this, in person. Great pictures and history of the detail put into this wonder....the kitchen and library are amazing.
