Happy birthday to Charlotte Brontë! The Brontë siblings liked to produce miniature magazines for Branwell's toy soldiers, which may have led Charlotte to later write "The Secret" and "Lily Hart" in this tiny script on eight small sheets of paper. Many years later, the Miniature Book Society published "The Scale of Genius," which describes these little books and is bound in a facsimile of "The Secret." As you can see from the first picture, the text is almost exactly the same size in both!

The Secret and Lily Hart: PR4167 .S43 1833

I've opened an Etsy store for tiny books! StepladderTinyBooks.etsy.com

I'm obsessed with these tiny books and plan to use them myself to keep a little shelf of books I've read but don't want to keep the full size copy for since I don't think I'll read it again. That way I can save my shelves for books I really love!

You can buy one (or more) of the books pictured here at my shop. 📚

Working on some #miniatures and decided to add a few of my own books to the bookshelves. For scale, each square on the mat is 1cm. #wolvesofsorrow #EdgeworldChronicles #miniaturebooks #authorsofinstagram #craftersofinstagram https://www.instagram.com/p/CjV1-LCuE7Q/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

royalcollectiontrust: This #LibraryShelfieDay we’re celebrating a very special library – a miniature one! Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House celebrates its 100th anniversary this year, so here’s a unique ‘doll’s eye’ view into one of its most important rooms.

A look at the Dolls’ House Library shelves will reveal a time capsule of the literature of the 1920s including around 175 real books handwritten by authors such as A.A. Milne, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Vita Sackville-West. Although it looks like a comfortable room to curl up in with a good book, you might struggle to fit: the Dolls’ House was built to 1:12 scale!

Queen Mary’s Dolls’ House is open as part of a visit to Windsor Castle. Find out more in royalcollectiontrust’s bio link or go to www.rct.uk/windsorcastle
