A Victorian doll's story, die-cut into the shape of the doll herself — and still in pristine condition.
Only a Doll is a faithful replica of the antique 1896 original, republished by Merrimack Publishing of New York in their beloved series of Victorian children's book reproductions. Written and illustrated by Helen Marion Burnside, the book is die-cut into the shape of a standing doll — tall, slender, and immediately arresting on a shelf or in a shadow box. Six pages of gorgeous Victorian-era illustration, beautifully preserved.
A wonderful gift for doll collectors, Victorian ephemera enthusiasts, or anyone who loves the look of antique children's books without the fragility of the real thing.
