MoreNot for those who still play dolls TrRUSILLA AND HER DOLLS is a story to -- start a child living in a new seriousness with her doll-family. But it is much more than a story for a child a fact that the author of this rare bit of child-autobiography had to have pointed out to her.

It may seem strange that Drusilla did not realize what a tale of mother-insight she was spreading before the mothers of the little girls she was writing to amuse. But it is not strange if we remember that to Drusilla her mother was no Mother Phenomenon, as Dickens might call her. She was just the only kind of mother Drusilla knew and so, to her, the standardized mother.
