After receiving over 350 entries it was difficult to pick any stories that stood out from the rest as they were all fantastic!! Here are our winning entries:

1st Place - Winner of £100 in Dolls House Emporium Gift Vouchers
Diana Cotter from Warrington

“Within the year, the happy couple announce the arrival of a beautiful baby daughter. As the bells ring out,the egg swings apart to reveal the tiny golden mansion within. A golden skinned maiden descends the spiral staircase. As she whistles softly,a faint scrabbling announces the arrival of her guardian. She places a key on a silken thread in one scaly claw and whispers a command. The shimmering dragon flies silently, unobserved and places the token around the babys neck - the key to the eternal kingdom of magic and make believe.”

2nd Place - Winner of £50 in Dolls House Emporium Gift Vouchers
Angela Eccles from Buckinghamshire

“Will and Amelie were so delighted to be together at last. They decided to sell the golden egg but as Amelie was dusting it to make it shine a small dragon genie appeared and granted them 3 wishes. First they chose to move away with Will’s Mum to a wonderful new house with a fantastic garden where Will would grow flowers and vegetables. Secondly, they decided to set up an orphanage so that other orphans could have a better life than Amelie and thirdly they wished that Amelies uncle could be embroiled in the forest until he had learnt to be kinder to others. And of course they lived happily ever after!”

3rd Place - Winner of £25 in Dolls House Emporium Gift Vouchers
Polly Rodgers from Leeds

“To be a husband is what I wanted to be
Especially to marry my Amelie,
This I’ve done by finding the Egg
And now without having to beg
We’ll live in the castle for ever more
And the dragon will return back to his shore.
We’ll stand in a turret and wave him goodbye
And live here together ’til the day that we die.”

Well done to all!

The V&A Museum of Childhood, aimed at enhancing children’s creativity, explores the themes of childhood to develop an appreciation of creative design through its inspirational collections and programmes. Its exquisite dolls’ house collection is one of the largest British collections not in private hands.

The oldest house, named the Nuremberg House of 1673, is probably one of the V&A Museum’s greatest treasures. There’s also a small group of 18th century dolls’ houses, including the beautiful Tate Baby House of about 1760, and a handsome holding from the 19th century. Some magnificent creations were made by carpenters whereas others like the house given to the institution by Queen Mary in 1921 have royal connections. It’s part of the V&A family of museums, and has on view the treasured national childhood collection. The galleries are so designed that they showcase the dolls’ houses and other collections in a most accessible and user friendly way.

Dating back to the 16th century, the museum reflects the diversity of childhood experiences through its thoughtful and imaginative collection of doll’s houses and other collectibles. Among them is an extraordinary collection of not less than 8,000 dolls that range from the earliest - a wooden paddle doll (dating from 1,300BC) - to the contemporary punk doll from the Bratz Boyz 2005 range.

For those who love dolls and dolls’ houses, The V&A Museum of Childhood is a must visit. And if you wish to have an equally classy dolls’ house in your collection, you can go through to the website and pick one for yourself.
