Chesterton for sure, and possibly McCullers, but I'd want to add in Flannery O'Connor and swap out Burnett for E. Nesbit. A dinner party guest list is a delicate thing.

And if the etsy seller wanted to take a cue from my dinner party and start making O'Connor and Nesbit dolls, I would be ALL in favor of it.

Jilli, have you seen this altered book purse?

Aaaiiieeeee, no I hadn't! Dammit, all these amazing altered book purses, and no spending money. Grr.

(I have a copy of that anthology sitting in the vampire bookcase. It's got a lot of good stories in it.)

Yeah, I'll forgo Margaret Atwood and go with Charlotte Bronte, Darcy and Elisabeth, and all four Little Women.

Oh, and this summer a friend gave me the Jane Eyre book purse. It is all kinds of awesome. You can imagine the comments I get when I bring it out in public.

I don't need Margaret Atwood, but I definitely need Frances Hodgson Burnett, GK Chesterton and Carson McCullers, and I wouldn't say no to Charlotte Bronte or Edith Wharton either.

I didn't look to see if there were other dolls, and now I'm not going to look because it could be dangerous.

Aaaiiieeeee, no I hadn't! Dammit, all these amazing altered book purses, and no spending money. Grr.

Sorry.

I thought the dolls were sort of weird-looking, sadly. Because a Charlotte Bronte would be awesome. Or an Emily Dickinson.

Yeah, I'll forgo Margaret Atwood and go with Charlotte Bronte, Darcy and Elisabeth, and all four Little Women.

I had all four Little Women Madame Alexander dolls when I was little! I LOVED them.

I don't know; I sort of totally groove on the weirdness of them. I'd make a little literary weirdness tableau, with images like this, this and this as backdrops.

THE JANE EYRE WOODCUT!

Sorry. It makes me a little giddy.

Would Fay's story be part of this collection?

Fay's not in that book, but she's in this one.

(And smonster, you have the earlier book of Tiny Stories, the white one. The red one is the new one.)

OOO. New one.
