BRITISH DOLLS OF THE 1950s

BRITISH DOLLS OF THE 1950s
SUSAN BREWER Book Number: 70123 Product format: Hardback

The frilly little charmer on the cover will steal your heart, as will the rest of the endearing collectable characters in this book. This informative book will appeal to both collectors and those who are feeling nostalgic because it introduces an often undervalued market, so you do not have to be a millionaire to be able to afford these gems. As well as the history of the most important doll manufacturers, you will discover more about accessories, such as shoe sizes, how to spot fakes, and warnings about hard plastic disease. The volume covers all types of dolls, including plush, composite and plastic. The decade's important events, such as the Coronation and the Festival of Britain were commemorated by dolls, and the plastic form enabled more animation than ever before, so the Festival doll could walk, talk and even dance. We can bet that you did not know that Pedigree's Little Princess outfit was designed by royal couturier Norman Hartnell and was based on the young Princess Anne. Such dolls are now of course, like all the ones in this volume, very collectable. 186 pages with bright colour photos, 1950s timeline, lists of where to see dolls in the UK, and doll hospitals. All copies are SIGNED BY THE AUTHOR.
Published price: £19.99
