Dolls Remembered

About the Book

As touchstones to the past, dolls validate childhood, a span of years that often seem like fragmented moments in time. With their life-like faces, blemished complexions, and snarled hair, vintage dolls hold sway with a magical power that rarely wanes, and often grows. In this collection, 60 contributors reminisce about their childhood dolls. Not all the dolls were pretty; not all were wanted; some were disappointing; not all became favorites, but each doll was memorable.
