This is a reprint of the classic book printed in 1957. An antique doll sits in a Paris antique shop
lonely with no one to play with. A
little girl who lives in poverty stares at her each and every day on her way to
school wishing she could play with her.
A woman comes into the shop one day and purchases her. She takes her home and to the dolls dismay
gets placed on top of the piano with not a single child to play with. The cat’s curiosity knocked the doll off her
perch and the dog drags her outside. He
fight with another dog and her precious red silk dress gets ripped off. The girl on her way home from school
discovers the doll lying in the street in her underwear. She lovingly takes her home, sews her new
clothes and loves her like any doll should be loved by a sweet child.
A
charming classic that any little girl should read.
