This book is jam-packed with unusual and fun-to-make projects and, with a highly original approach; Christiane Berridge takes the reader through the day, from morning to night-time, bringing the Victorian dolls' house to life. There is something for all levels of ability: beginners will enjoy making the sugar cone, waxed flower dome and dressing table set, while for the more experienced miniaturist there is the challenge of the travelling trunk or fourposter bed. From the hustle and bustle of the basement kitchen, the impressive hallway, the grand dining room and comfortable parlour, to the elegant bedrooms, this is a tour through the Victorian house that offers over 70 projects for every room. All projects use basic tools and materials.

If you are just getting started in Dollhouses / Miniatures then this book is very good. The items that you can build from it are very simple to make and you don't need any fancy equipment. I feel that while some of the items are not 'flash' for a beginner they are a great way to build skills and fill a dollhouse, as you grow and change so will you dollhouse:)
bought this book based on reviews, but was very disappointed. It is filled with simplistic projects that produce crude results, not likely to satisfy the modern sophisticated dollhouse collector. The description of daily activities in a Victorian home is mildly interesting, but nothing you will not already know if you collect miniatures. Beautifully illustrated, this book is enjoyable to look at but not much else.
