Doll's House: Uncover the Secrets of a Victorian Home (Lift, Look and Learn)

Author(s): Jim Pipe

Board

Welcome to 51 Orchard Avenue, home to a wealthy family called the Sullivans. The date is 1888. This is an extraordinary house, with many rooms and plenty going on - and even more to play with. The master of the house is unwinding with his newspaper, the children are busy in the nursery, a servant cleans the bathroom and the cook is preparing the evening meal. If you take a look around - behind doors and inside drawers - you'll also find that there are lots of hidden treasures stored away. There is something new to find each time you look at it and there are mysteries to solve as you look through the house. The beautiful interior illustration is painstakingly researched so that rooms and the objects in them are authentic for their time.
