King of the Dollhouse

Beschreibung

A tiny scurrying noise! Then . . . something races out of a shadowy corner of Ellie's room, gallops up to the dollhouse, and stops short. "Whoa," calls the smallest sort of voice, and suddenly there is the Queen, gallant and beautiful, on mouseback. Ellie's mom is busy writing a book, so Ellie figures she'll have to use her imagination to entertain herself for a while. Then, alone in her room, from inside the elaborate dollhouse she hasn't played with in some time, she hears a tiny, exasperated voice. Could it be? One thing's for certain: Ellie's world just got a lot bigger . . . or is it smaller? This faithful new edition of Patricia Clapp's beloved 1974 classic with the original illustrations by Judith Gwyn Brown is certain to charm new audiences with its sharp and independent main character and themes of powerful women and magical personal adventure.

Autor

Patricia Clapp (1912-2003) was a beloved author of fiction for children. As a young woman, she attended the Columbia University School of Journalism. After she married and became a mother, she began writing plays for children, eventually publishing more than twenty (as well as a few for adults). When Clapp learned in the course of genealogy research that one of her forbears was Constance Hopkins, who had been a passenger on the Mayflower at age fourteen, she was inspired to write the novel Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth (1968), which was nominated for the National Book Award. Clapp went on to write the ghost story Jane-Emily (1969), as well as the historical novels Dr. Elizabeth: The Story of the First Woman Doctor (1974), I'm Deborah Sampson: A Soldier in the War of the Revolution (1977), Witches' Children: A Story of Salem (1982), and The Tamarack Tree: A Novel of the Siege of Vicksburg (1986). Because of their enduring appeals, a number of Clapp's novels are still available to purchase.
