This book rocks. I have no idea why it’s out of print. Ruth M. Arthur is pretty much a forgotten children’s writer from the 60’s and 70’s. This is the second time I’ve read this. I read it three years ago. This is Ruth M. Arthur’s masterpiece. It’s about an evil doll that passes through three generations of a family. The most interesting story is about a good and bad sister. The doll influences the bad sister’s art. She’s always adding a wicked element to her art thanks to the appearance of the doll. Eventually, the doll drives her into madness. There’s also a subplot about World War II. This is usually around $100 or more on Amazon.com. So I suggest doing what I did, get it free off interlibrary loan.
