Never heard of it, sorry. Can you give some pointers to what it's about and why we should read(?) it?

/not!Op


It's a series of children's novels about magical living dolls. I can't remember it well, but it was extremely sad for a series of books about dolls. For example, a human family moved into the house and their son fell in love with one of the dolls, and she fell in love with him, but they couldn't be together, because obviously. I think they erased his memory? And he re-appeared in another book as a grown-up with wife and children, and the doll who loved him was just so sad. And then all of the dolls lost their ability to move around, because the magic that animated them was running out, but they were still conscious afterwards, and one of the children-dolls was stuck in a different room from the rest of the family, because she threw a tantrum and left just before they lost their mobility, and she was left all alone and unable to move or speak for decades.

So yeah, the series traumatized me. But it was really good.

I've never read these books, but they sound cute.

I remember reading this as an adult, though I don't think I got to the end of the series. It's stuck with me for years, which I think shows how good it is. They had so many problems interacting with the world outside, it because a metaphor for any number of things. Soobie was the blue Mennym iirc? He was quite grown-up for a cloth doll and one of my favourite characters as well.

It's the first place I came across "tread softly for you tread on my dreams," as well.
