There is at Windsor Castle what is probably the most famous dolls' house in the world and it was a gift from the nation to Queen Mary, wife of George V. In the library of the dolls' house is a book written especially by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle in 1922 and Walker Books have recreated this book - handwritten by ACD - in exquisite detail. It measures just 38.5mm by 33mm (or 1.9 inches by 1.6inches for those of us who still think in old money) and it's cloth bound. Queen Mary was a keen collector (just a little too keen on occasions, one remembers) of antiques and miniatures and the gift of the house and its contents must have delighted her.
