It was a big fun hit!! I found the doll to be beautifully made with charming detail. I think I'll get another!!! Actually, don't tell anyone, but right now she's sitting by a figure of Mozart and I'm not sure they're not up to something when we go home at night.

Shortly after taking the figure out of the box (literally, within minutes) a colleague was looking at it and went to raise the figure's left arm. She did not apply unnecessary pressure but the figure snapped in half. When I looked at the broken midsection, I noticed that the top and bottom were held together by less than 1/8" diameter semi-circle of plastic (an amount slightly larger than the largest part of a toothpick). I feel that the design could be improved greatly. As Jane Austen is one of my favorite authors, I am dissappointed that so little attention was paid to the design- especially since she is known for her great attention to detail. Sad, sad design. Durability:1.0 out of 5 stars Fun:1.0 out of 5 stars Educational:4.0 out of 5 stars
