Intended for anyone with ordinary woodworking skills, this book offers complete plans and instructions for making five dolls' houses. A simple three-roomed Victorian shop, suitable for beginners, is followed by a Georgian house, a thatched cottage and a quayside fisherman's cottage. The final project, a more complex three-storey Tudor house complete with beams and timber framing, is for the more ambitious craftsman. The author makes dolls' houses professionally. He was the British Toymakers Guild's Toymaker of the Year in 1987.
