The author bought a doll at a flea market right outside of the Porte de Clignancourt in Paris several years ago. He bought it on account of a sticker on the doll saying that this doll brought happiness to whoever possessed it. He thought that the doll was very good material for a novel that dealt with the flea market doll telling her own story. So this is the story of the doll that he calls Founie. Even dolls can tell stories. The enchantment is in the many adventures and places the doll experiences. Her greatest experience is that of being wanted and wanting. Yes, the "it" factor becomes a "she."
