The story, “The Doll's House,” was written by one of the most famous New Zealand writers - Katherine Mansfield. The plot of this work was built around a wonderful doll’s house presented to children (three sisters) of the Burnel family.
The sisters “burned to tell everybody” their doll's house. The story opened showing readers the world of childhood, but the harmony of it was ruined by adults who displayed arrogant models of behaviour for children.
Only the youngest of the Burnell sisters was able to overcome powerful social barriers which adults built.
The main visual symbol of this story was a beautiful small lamp in the doll’s house. It was connected by the author to the beauty of the soul of one of the little girls.
