So well-known was Mary of Teck’s fondness for dolls that, in 1924, architect Sir Edwin Lutyens created the Queen Mary's Dolls' House, the largest and most famous dolls' house in the world. The house contains contributions from many notable artists and craftsmen of the period and includes a library of miniature books containing original stories written by authors including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and A. A. Milne.
