V: 4504: THE ROYAL NURSERY.

The Day Nursery in the Queen's Dolls’ House is complete from fireguard to toy cupboards. The decoration of the walls by Edmund Dulac illustrates fairy tales, "Sinbad the Sailor," "Cinderella," etc., and there are two volumes of Nursery Rhymes, a Rocking Horse, a model Theatre (showing Peter Pan), a model Train, toy Soldiers, a Noah's Ark and "Father Tuck’s Annual." This is indeed "the Land of Heart's Desire!" We have not mentioned the Biscuits, Sweets and Crackers – what more could any doll wish for?
