I read this under the title The Mysterious Shrinking House. I was probably around six or seven the first time I read it and I still love this book. Mindy finds an old dollhouse and falls in love with it. It sure looks a lot like Mrs. Bright's old family home which strangely vanished one day way back in 1915. Soon Mindy and lively old Mrs. Bright find themselves dollhouse-sized and that's just the start. A lot of fun from Horse the dog who's hot on his missing owner's trail to the inhabitants of Lilliput U.S.A. A clever and engaging story with a few chuckles along the way.

I read this book under the title "The Mysterious Shrinking House" also. It remains one of my favorite stories of all time! I must have been about 11 when I read it the first time, and I read it over and over. I am buying it now (after searching for it forever!) because I have a 12 year old daughter and I've shared with her how much I love this story. I am going to give her the hardback for Christmas and I hope that it will mean as much to her as it did to me. It's something that I am really excited to have in common with my daughter!
