Her research, which began in the 1940s, is credited with helping to establish the serious academic and museum interest in these objects, and her earlier writing persuaded dealers and curators that dolls' houses deserved study and conservation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a handsome, visually rich reference for collectors of dolls' houses, miniatures and domestic social history, and a worthwhile companion to her earlier works on the subject.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAuthor Profile: Vivien Greene\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eVivien Greene (1904-2003) was born in Rhodesia and became one of the foremost authorities on eighteenth- and nineteenth-century English dolls' houses.
