![]() ![]() ![]() Until the end, that is, which is rather intense (in a nicely scary way!). Visions of the past over a hundred years ago, when the doll was new, are intruding into their reality, straining their relationship with each other and compelling them to find out what happened to the girl who's doll it was.and the force behind the visions is not friendly (cue creepy music).īut mostly it isn't all that creepy-it's more like a mystery to be solved with the help of supernatural nudges (primarily visions of the past, overlaying the present, as opposed to actual visits to the past), and daily life goes on, broken by trips to the library and hunts for old houses etc. Twelve-year old twins Elizabeth and Jane didn't particularly want an old wooden doll.but something drew them to the shop where it was housed one wet day, and something drew the owner to let them have it for what loose change they had in their pockets.Īnd something made Aunt Alice fall down the stairs of the big ancestral home in which she lived alone soon after.resulting in her moving out, and Elizabeth and Jane's family (they are blessed (?) with three brothers).Īnd then the little doll is used by something, or someone, to draw Elizabeth and Jane into an old, sad, angry story. ![]() ![]() Twin Spell, aka Double Spell in its most recent edition, by Janet Lunn (1969), for Timeslip Tuesday ![]()
