Summary "The Story of Live Dolls" by Josephine Scribner Gates is a children's fantasy book written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around the whimsical adventure of dolls coming to life in the village of Cloverdale, enchanting young readers with the idea of imagination and play. This tale portrays a delightful world where dolls engage in human-like activities, thus appealing to the childlike wonder and affection for playthings. In the story, young Janie Bell eagerly anticipates the magic that will occur on June 4th when all the dolls in her village come alive. As the day unfolds, Janie experiences joy and excitement as she witnesses her dolls dressing themselves, cooking, and even participating in a picnic organized by a doll queen. The narrative presents a charming mixture of adventures and mishaps among the dolls, including a trip to a "Doll Farm" to receive new clothes and repairs. Janie's adventures serve to illustrate themes of friendship, compassion, and care as the little girls learn to treat their dolls with the same love and attention they desire for themselves. Ultimately, the story conveys a timeless message about cherishing childhood experiences and the importance of kindness. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
