But that line doesn't explain the serious extend of Darby's scars, which are described in some detail. Up until the end, I liked this book.

Loved the book! Is there any other source material (besides articles in VF archives; pictures but nothing new there) that you can suggest for learning about the Barbizon? The story in The Dollhouse sprouted several itches to scratch! ;-)

Helen There is this book on Amazon.
