The Doll Story MEGAPACK ®. Frances Hodgson Burnett

Should you like to see if the doll is broken?”

      And she undid the string cleverly, but Nina was all smashed to pieces. Only the gentle light of the children’s ward made a pale green sheen in the folds of the little Mother Hubbard frock.

      DAME CRUMP, by Richard Hunter [Poem]

Some dolls are ev’ry bit as good As little girls and boys; They never pout or shake themselves, And never make a noise. But other dollies make mistakes; Won’t do as they are told; Won’t stand upright, or shut their eyes, However much you scold! And then’s the time for old Dame Crump To enter with her stick, And make them mind their p’s and q’s; ’Tis well if they are quick!
