A Little Maid in Toyland

In the bright nursery of Toyland, a remarkable doll’s house refuses to stay put. Named the Walking House by its ever‑shifting occupants, it is dragged and pushed from corner to corner until little Sally finally finds the perfect sunny spot between two windows. Built from sturdy grocery‑store boxes and finished with hand‑cut paper and tiny mouldings, the miniature home is as much a work of art as a playground for the toys inside.

The story follows Sally, her handy brother John, and the kindly old Captain Brouse, whose wooden leg and soldierly tales add a touch of history to the project. Together they wallpaper, plaster, and furnish each room with delicate pin‑cushions, silk needlebooks, and other charming trinkets, turning the house into a miniature world of wonder. As the children settle the house into its new position, the stage is set for playful adventures and gentle lessons about teamwork, imagination, and the joy of creating something special.
