A new mystery to solve

Mackenzie Sanford writes:

I was wondering if you'd be able to help me find a certain paper doll book. I had it in the 90's when I was growing up and I loved it, but somehow no one in my family knows which book I'm talking about. I, perhaps falsely, remember the cover being a burgundy color. Inside, each page was a different room. The room I remember most distinctly was a conservatory. The book had paper people in what I think was Victorian-era clothing. The clothing wasn't removable but I believe the book came with little paper furniture pieces that were movable. In the back of the book was a pocket to store the people and pieces in (although my grandma didn't trust the pocket and kept all the pieces in a ziplock bag). This book was only two dimensional and not larger than your average children's book.

Does anyone recognize Mackenzie's book?

  3. Could it be "Annabele's House" which came out in the 80s.
