From the front flap of this 274 page book: 'The most satisfying achievement for a microphile, a friend of devotee of small things, is to create a dollhouse and the miniatures within. Marian Maeve O'Brien has captivated miniaturists all over the world with her charming, original projects, inexhaustible imagination, and a style that combines warm encouragement with a practical approach. With the devotion of a true lover of Lilliputia, she now has produced the most comprehensive book on building dollhouses and making miniature furnishings inside and out. Scaled house plans are provided for a wide diversity of designs: Tudor, Victorian, cigar box, a multiroom palace, a turnabout house of two periods, 1870 and 1929, and even a dollhouse for a dollhouse. Mrs. O'Brien makes finishing the exteriors an exciting challenge and guides the reader stepbystep in painting, laying clapboard, shingling and thatching roofs, building doors and windows, laying stone paths and patios, and creating gardens, conservatories, fences, a garden swing and a privy. For the interior, selective doors, windows, paneling, wainscotting, and roundels are features, and floors can be parqueted or layed of random width boards. Selected wallpapers and textures are provided as well as instructions for installing electricity and fireplaces. Mrs. O'Brien shows the novice how to outfit the house with classic period pieces, such as a basic fourposter bed, wall tables, a wing chair, and a Boston rocker, as well as crystal chandeliers, an early Victorian cookstove, a child's quilt, a French sleigh bed and a steamer chair. The book is illustrated throughout with more than 140 diagrams and scaled patters, 65 black and white photographs, and 17 color plates.'
