Although deceptively simple, Oliver conveyed subtleties of expression with the wooden and porcelain dolls, highlighting thereby the economy of movement needed to tell a good story well. And this is a good story. It does not shy away from a philosophy of playmaking that honours children as the active participants in a doll's world. It was Oliver's intelligence and instinct that persuaded Rumer Godden, the author of the stories to let him make them into small films, and it a pleasure to restore the first series, twenty five years after they were first shown. Contains the 5 Episodes. ## Images ![Tottie (The Story Of A Doll's House) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/517VbSojzWL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Wonderful - but be careful! *by L***S on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 2 June 2013* I bought this DVD for my 4-year-old grandaughter who lives in the US and loves dolls. I did remember a little of the story by Rumer Godden when my own daughter was about 9 years old and read the book and saw the televised version - and there was something about a fire... So I decided to watch the DVD first before sending it off.Glad I did because one of the scenes near the end of the story is really not suitable for a 4-year-old. A child who loves dolls would be distressed when one of the main character dolls goes up in a ball of flame because she stepped too close to a candle!Otherwise, the story is utterly charming and old-fashioned and would delight every little girl who loves dolls. But do be warned about the graphic content. I just wish there was an edited version! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The name Marchpane will send shivers up our spines for the rest of our lives *by F***Y on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 20 March 2015* I remember me and my sister being haunted by this when we saw it in our early teens. At first we started watching it because it was obviously by the same people who created Bagpuss, which we adored as children, and was narrated by Oliver Postgate who was the reassuring voice of of our childhood. It seemed like a run of the mill story at first but then one of the Dolls got murdered and our jaws have been close to our feet ever since. We hoped watching it again would return our jaws to their rightful place but from the second we heard the haunting music at the start we new that wasn't going to happen. The name Marchpane will send shivers up our spines for the rest of our lives, Simply superb. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Dolls House was my favourite book and I have recently read it again *by T***E on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 🇬🇧 on 21 March 2016* When I was a little girl, The Dolls House was my favourite book and I have recently read it again. This little series is an asset to the book. All the characters are exactly how I imagined them and I found my heart was still n my mouth when the sweet little doll Birdie lost her life due to that nasty piece of work Marchpane. I can heartily recommend this DVD which came promptly and well packaged --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.jp/products/55990709-tottie-the-story-of-a-dolls-house](https://www.desertcart.jp/products/55990709-tottie-the-story-of-a-dolls-house) --- *Product available on Desertcart Japan* *Store origin: JP* *Last updated: 2026-10-20*
