An homage to 19th and early 20th century children's books in which home interiors featured opening doors and closets and endless paper doll figures that could be inserted into scenes, Annabel's House is filled with detailed double-page illustrations of a Victorian-era mansion including an entryway, kitchen, dining room, study, bathroom, bedrooms, and more. In a rear pocket, two unused sheets of press-out figures are inserted. A first edition in Fine condition; an unused copy.
