As each different part of the story is described, the reader uses the corresponding paper doll figures to re-enact the story as it progresses from outside the house into the various rooms of the house. The rooms have doors and cupboards that open up into hiding places for the dolls, and each room is finely detailed with stylish furnishings of the era.
