Note from Nancy Lee about Jen's doll stories:
Jen's dolls go into each setting of the story, in real life! No Photoshop tricks or faux backgrounds! Jen likes the challenge of taking the dolls out into Cornwall, where the scenes and emotions of the stories become real to her as an author. As Jen once wrote to me, "They have been in every setting I have shown them in by hook and by crook, with very little jiggery pokery."

Disclaimer

Jen's stories are (obviously!) works of fiction. Her setting is truly Cornwall. Most of the places referred to exist as described. The characters and incidents, however, are created solely from the author's imagination. Any resemblance to real persons, living or dead, is coincidental.
