Henrik Ibsen, author of "A Doll's House".

Henrik Ibsen was born in Norway in 1828. His whole life he dreamed of being an artist. As an adult of 27 he moved from Norway to Italy. There he wrote plays like "The Emperor and the Galilean (1873)" and "A Doll's House". He wrote about "the middle class and life in the suburbs and small towns". Besides his famous plays he also liked to write poetry. In 1900 he died after having a stroke. (http://www.kirjasto.sci.fi/ibsen.htm)

"A Doll's House" to me sounds like a mystery book. It sounds like it would be about a family who lives in Victorian Times. After reading some notes about the book I think that it has to with a girl having a life like her dolls. Using your imagination your dolls can have anything they want. Thats kind of how one of the characters, Nora.
