As we peek into this story set around 1900, we see “Papa and Mama”, a carpenter and seamstress in a Northern European village who have longed for a child for years, but have never had one. (“Even their names for each other had arisen from that hope …”)
When Papa is asked to build a dollhouse for the Blacksmith’s daughter in time for “Christ’s Day”, a series of events lead to more than just the single miracle Papa refers to below. Not only is a beautiful dollhouse created, but purpose is found, the love of God is revealed, and something legendary is born.
