Racketty-Packetty House

The Racketty-Packetty House is a children's book written by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The story follows the adventures of a group of dolls who live in a neglected dollhouse in the corner of a nursery. The dolls are divided into two groups, the Racketty-Packetty House dolls and the snobbish, well-cared-for dolls from the luxurious Dolls' House. The Racketty-Packetty House dolls are shabby and worn, but they are happy and content with their simple lives. One day, a fairy godmother appears and grants their wish for a new home. The dolls are transported to a beautiful garden, where they must learn to adapt to their new surroundings and make friends with the other creatures who live there. Along the way, they learn valuable lessons about the importance of kindness, friendship, and the true meaning of home. The Racketty-Packetty House is a heartwarming tale that will delight children and adults alike.""It's the nurse rolling up the arm-chair before the house to hide it, so that it won't disgrace the castle. Hooray! Hooray! If they don't see us they will forget all about us and we shall not be burned up at all. Our nice old Racketty-Packetty House will be left alone and we can enjoy ourselves more than ever--because we sha'n't be bothered with Cynthia--Hello! let's all join hands and have a dance.""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
