About the Book
Do you ever play with dolls? Donât worry, I donât think itâs at all babyish to like dolls. I played with my dolls up until I was about ten, though I didnât really tell my friends just in case they teased me.
I think itâs so sad that lots of girls stop playing with their Barbies and Bratz by the time theyâre six or so. I still love dolls even now. They sit in special places all over my house. Iâve got a doll with brown glass eyes and ringlets called Mad Alice whoâs over 150 years old, and she reclines decoratively on my Victorian chaise longue. I have another gentle Victorian china doll called Mabel who sits up straight in her own little chair. There are carved wooden dolls and soft cloth dolls and a row of tiny plastic baby dolls arranged on my shelves.
There are two characters in this book who love dolls too. One is Lizzie â and the other is her very fierce Great-gran. She can be very scary at times but somehow Lizzie isnât frightened of her. Lizzie wonât talk to anyone â but she will whisper to Great-gran. Later in the story itâs Lizzieâs turn to help Great-gran to speak.
Lizzie is a little bit like me when I was little â and Great-gran is a little bit like my mum!
