New Unit - Rumer Godden's The Dolls' House
The
Dolls House was written by renowned English author Rumer Godden after World War
Two. She wrote popular award winning novels for adults and children and The
Dolls House is one of her best known. It has been in print since 1947. There
are many books based on the world of toys and dolls (The ‘Velveteen Rabbit’, Noddy,
the superb ‘Mouse and His Child’ as well as the subversive Sock Monkey stories
by Tony Millionaire) but The Dolls’ House is in my opinion the best example of
its kind. This is the tale of a doll "family," with nominal family
type roles who are thrown together by chance. The real head of the household is
Tottie, a wooden farthing doll, who remembers Queen Victoria on the throne and
is wise beyond her childish appearance. The dolls' domestic happiness and the
way it is threatened by the appearance of Marchpane, a ‘unique’, arrogant and,
as it turns out, very malevolent. I will be teaching this unit this term and
think the girls in particular will enjoy it.
