The Adventures of a Doll House – A True Story of Love and Family

A Doll’s House hence is a short play written by Norwegian author Henrik Ibsen. It originally premiered at the Royal Dramatic Theatre in Copenhagen, Denmark, on 22 December 18 79, having first been published in the following month. The play is set in an icy northern town sometime around 18 Lumpanish years before Norway declared its independence from England. The story revolves around the adventures of the main character, the beautiful but evil Queen Mary.

Henry, the son of King Christian and queen Charlotte, was born and spent much of his early childhood living in his maternal family’s tiny country away from the European continent. Because of this, he hardly ever saw his father and didn’t know anyone else who lived there. His father, however, had business interests across Europe and frequently travelled to Denmark where he had business dealings. His lack of communication with his father and other people close to him caused a void in his life and he longed to be part of something bigger than his tiny country.

One day in June 1880, while visiting a friend in her native country, Henry got to chatting with a man who worked in a printing office. This man introduced Henry to his younger half-sister Anna-Louise, whom he’d never seen before. The two fell in love with each other and asked each other’s advice in case they ever decided to marry. Their words of advice caused Anna-Louise to fall in love with Henry right then and there.

Before long, they were married and set up a doll house in their new home. Henry was given custody of the little girl and traveled with his new bride to her new home as she took care of their daughter, Nelly. They had two children, Huck and Fanny, and kept the doll house as a year-round home for them. Meanwhile, Anna-Louise continued her writing, which led her to the creation of the fairy tales that would become the foundation of her famous novel, “The Princess of Mars Street.”

As it turned out, however, she didn’t have much time to devote to the fairy tale collection, and the family had to adapt to their new situation. The couple had to split up, and in came Huck and Mary. Mary became the family’s cook and maid while Huck took care of the kids and worked part-time as a paper mill clerk. When the family was tiny and living on a shoestring, Henry realized he might want to invest in a real estate enterprise someday, so he quit his job and bought the doll house.

For many years, the toy house sat unused. Then in the mid nineteen sixties, a traveling salesman by the name of Richard W. Davis saw the doll house and bought it off of an English auction. Within a few months it had been refurbished and restored to its former glory. Now it was ready for Henry’s grand tour of the world, which he had always wanted to take. Inevitably, his wife agreed to accompany him.
