This beautifully illustrated revised edition of Dolls’ Houses celebrates some of the best-loved dollhouses from the collection of London’s Victoria and Albert Museum of Childhood (or Young V&A Museum), curated by author Halina Pasierbska.
Featuring specially commissioned photography detailing the astonishing skill and craftsmanship required to create these homes in miniature scale, this book presents a close-up look at the most interesting and historically significant examples of this absorbing craft, including the exquisite Nuremberg House of 1673 to the brightly colored 21st-century Kaleidoscope House.
From lavish country mansions to cozy suburban villas, Dolls’ Houses explores their fascinating roles as both domestic teaching aids and records of contemporary lifestyle, providing unique insights into the world of their owners.

It’s an ok book, but I wrongly thought I was getting a book that showed detailed pictures of ornate and attractive doll’s houses, but it’s more of a history of doll’s houses. I found it a little boring and not really a ‘coffee table book’. It’s overpriced too. Wouldn’t recommend.

This book is much the same as the one published for the old Museum of Childhood. Don’t buy if you think this will hold anything new to read or look at. At the time the previous book was published, it made sense to give information about all the dolls houses on display. Now the new museum doesn’t display the same number of dolls houses, and this ‘new’ book is not providing anything new, It’s misleading and disappointing. The museum should put back on display all those wonderful dolls houses they now have in storage.
