Only once in a blue moon does a children's story of this particular blend of charm, originality and inspiration come like a lovely surprise from the mind and heart of even so gifted a writer as Phyllis McGinley.

Dulcy had many dolls, but one that she loved beyond all others because it was her dream doll—born of her own imagination. And Dulcy had an imagination that flew away with her until she learned to ride on its wings.

Every incident, every charming twist and turn of the story of Dulcy and her wonderful doll Angela is fresh and delightful, and Helen Stone's drawings and design make this book a treasure for every doll collector, every enthusiast about fine children's books and best of all, for every little girl from seven to eleven.
