In this gorgeous book, Karina Shaapman has created a whole miniature world out of cardboard orange boxes to tell the story of Sam and Julia at the Theatre. As she says, Mouse Mansion is "...a little bit wonky, with a retro, shabby-chic look about it." It is the best dollhouse you will ever see and it fills both children and adults alike with a sense of wonder. I cannot do it justice in this review - this is one book you really have to see for yourself.
