Little Folks in Busy-Land

A fanciful story incorporating a clay doll and her visits to various "lands"- paper-land, nut-land, wood-land, flower-land.  All of the inhabitants and props and houses were made by two real children and there are even pages of instructions for making your own.  This was how children played in 1916 when the book was published!
