This children's book was apparently inspired by her "fairy castle": "In 1928, inspired by her father and with help from her former set designer, Horace Jackson, Moore constructed an 8-foot-tall (2.4 m) miniature "fairy castle" which toured the United States. The interior of The Colleen Moore Dollhouse, designed by Harold Grieve, features miniature bear skin rugs and detailed furniture and art. Moore's dollhouse has been a featured exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago, Illinois since the early 1950s, where, according to the museum it is seen by 1.5 million people each year. Moore continued working on it, and contributing artifacts to it, until her death." Shipping includes Delivery Confirmation to U.S. destinations. SATISFACTION GUARANTEED! WE COMBINE SHIPPING!
