 Lily and Her Doll.
[141279] (DOLLS - HOUSEHOLD ECONOMY) D.P. Kidder .
New-York: Published by Lane & Scott, (1852). 32mo, 32 pages. Printed wraps, sewn. General foxing, good. Illus. with two cuts of Lily with her doll. A rather strange book. Lily is given a wax doll dressed in silk, satin and lace, but soon pines for a cradle. She and her mother see a distressed child in need of shoes, but Lily selfishly spends her allowance on her cradle, showing her low moral fiber. What entails is a strange scenario of remorse, Christian charity, the micro-managed manipulation of Lily's allowance, and efforts to redeem the child. When the bargain is struck, Lily agrees to sell her cradle to her mother and then buy it back on fixed weekly installments. As Lily says, “I think this will be a very nice plan. Pray, lock up the cradle, dear mother, and do not let me see it until you think proper to sell it to me again. How very nice you are, to manage me so nicely!” $125
