If you're like me, you're thinking, "Dolls? Four stories about dolls?" I'm not a big fan of doll/toy stories usually. I appreciate The Velveteen Rabbit as a children's classic, but it's not one of my favourites. These stories, though, are pure magic. Two of them are Christmas stories, and the other two, interestingly, are about boys and dolls (because boys can like dolls without being "sissies", although you don't see that message enough). Anyway, these are amazing stories. My favourite is "The Story of Holly & Ivy", which you can get as a separate, gorgeously illustrated book. The collection of all four stories is sadly out of print, though.

Charming, old-fashioned doll stories, especially The Story of Holly and Ivy and Candy Floss.
