Items related to Vita Sackville-West: A Note of Explanation
Preserved unseen on a bookshelf in the library of the dolls house created for Queen Mary in 1924, this enchanting story is a previously unknown work by the celebrated poet and novelist Vita Sackville-West.
The delightful tale tells of a spirit who inhabits the dolls house. Having seemingly been present for the major moments of fairy-tale history such as
Cinderella s ball, Sleeping Beauty s waking kiss and the creation of Aladdin s palace, she has made herself at home in this early twentieth-century house, baffling even its maker.
This charming story by a major figure in twentieth-century literature will appeal to adults and children alike.
