Make Your Own Dolls' House

by Christopher Cole
 

Providing a step-by-step guide to the design and construction of a dolls' house, this book is aimed at the experienced carpenter and the complete beginner. It describes the principles and practice of the various steps involved: choosing the house, design, construction, assembly, decoration and embellishments. The text is kept simple and never leaves even the most inexperienced wood-worker in any doubt as to what he needs to do next. Starting with a photograph of a real building, the author (who is a country doctor, not a professional toy maker) shows how you can plan the outside and arrive at a layout for the interior, so that what you make is a miniture of the building of your choice. Dr Cole shows how all this was applied to one particular building, Charles Dickens' house in London. He provides a full list of all the measurements and a full scale design for the front of this house.
