| Summary | "The Doll and Her Friends" by Julia Charlotte Maitland is a fictional children’s book written in the mid-19th century. The story unfolds through the perspective of a doll named Seraphina, who reflects on her existence, the joy she brings to children, and the lessons to be learned from the experiences of those who own her. The narrative explores themes of kindness, domestic happiness, and the underlying value of toys in childhood. At the start of the tale, the doll introduces herself and her comrades, discussing their existence as dependent objects whose purpose is to provide happiness to children. She recounts her arrival at the bazaar and her observations of humans, particularly a little girl who admires her but chooses to buy a paint box for her brother instead. The doll expresses philosophical musings on her purpose, happiness, and the emotions tied to childhood attachments. As her story evolves, she eventually finds herself in the hands of a new owner, where she is celebrated and cherished, further illustrating the significance of innocence and affection in the lives of children.
