About this book

Racketty-Packetty House, as Told by Queen Crosspatch is a book by Frances Hodgson Burnett. The telling says, “Now this is the story about the doll family I liked and the doll family I didn’t.” The telling says that if you think dolls never do anything you don’t see them do, you are very much mistaken, and that when people are not looking at them they can do anything they choose.

Racketty-Packetty House had belonged to Cynthia’s Grandmamma and had been made in the days when Queen Victoria was a little girl. Lady Patsy has dimples in the corners of her mouth and long curly lashes, and her nose is saucy and her eyes are bright and full of laughs. Cynthia, losing her breath, says, “That old Racketty-Packetty House.”
