Ethel loses her favourite doll, and on going to bed sees her toys running off to the Doll Country. Of course, she follows them…
This book seems to come in a variety of colours: my red, but I’ve also seen blue and green versions on-line.
I’m not sure if that’s related to date- my copy seems to be undated.
T. Pym is apparently the pseudonym of 19th-century children’s illustrator Clara Creed. She has also illustrated The Snow Queen.
I can’t find out anything about the author.
There’s a modern facsimile available on Amazon if you want to read the book: Ethel’s Adventures: In the Doll Country (Facsimile)
