Lenci: The History and the Dolls
by Nancy Lazenby
Years of primary research by Lenci expert Nancy Lazenby have resulted in the most comprehensive book ever created on this celebrated Italian doll company. Based on founder
Elena Scavini's unpublished memoirs, interviews with her grand-daughter and with
Bibija Garella, one of the last owners of the company, as well as with key people involved
in the final decades of Lenci's history, this stunning volume traces Lenci's eighty-two-year
history and production of fine felt dolls. It also features more than 400 color photos of
dolls and other items made by the company. The full reference section presents detailed
photos of specific features by which Lenci dolls can be identified, a visual history of the
various tags used from 1919 through 2001 and a close look at a variety of felt dolls often
misidentified as Lencis. This beautiful book is an invaluable reference for beginning and
advanced collectors alike.

Fascinating Dolls from the Musee de la Poupée-Paris
by Samy Odin
Nestled at the end of a charming alley on the city's Right Bank, the Musée
de la Poupée-Paris has become a mecca for doll collectors from around the
world. Co-founded by Samy Odin and his father, Guido Odin, the museum's permanent exhibitions feature historically significant dolls of a variety
of media made over a span of two centuries.
In this remarkable book, Samy Odin takes readers on an intimate
tour of more than 700 of the museum's dolls. He reveals the rich provenance of many of the examples he and his father have acquired, identifies
previously unknown pieces and explores the mysterious, and fascinating,
process by which a top-rate collection is built. In his opening memoir,
Mr. Odin traces his and his father's steps on their journey as doll collectors,
from the serendipitous gift of a damaged bisque doll in 1981 to the founding of their museum in Paris in 1994. Ensuing chapters focus on the major
aspects of the Odin collection, from lady dolls to a wide range of bébés,
mignonnettes and cloth dolls.
This magnificent collection comes to vivid life on these pages, transporting readers to the heart of Paris, where hundreds of fascinating dolls
make their home.

Identifying German Parian Dolls
by Mary Gorham Krombholz
This important book features groundbreaking research on the parian dolls produced by eight factories in Germany during the late-nineteenth century, and is the
first to attribute with certainty the makers of these beautiful dolls, especially those
produced during the 1860s and 1870s and previously designated as being by
"unknown makers." The author's research also clarifes the process of making porcelain dolls in the nineteenth century, and presents a vivid picture of life in the
Thuringian villages in which these factories were located.
More than 350 color photographs, all close views detailing the painting and
decoration of these pieces, accompany Ms. Krombholz's invaluable text, making
this the most significant volume on German parian dolls to be published.

Identifying German Character Dolls
by Mary Gorham Krombholz
A Pictorial Reference Guide for German Chinas
by Mary Gorham Krombholz
In this definitive reference guide, respected author and researcher Mary Gorham
Krombholz identifies with certainty the majority of unmarked chinas made in
Germany from the 1840s through the 1930s. Eye and mouth enlargements for
many of the dolls provide valuable identification clues to the facial painting characteristics unique to each of the seven porcelain factories featured. More than 400
dolls are pictured in individual and group color photographs, making this book a
must-have for every china-doll collector.
German character dolls were produced in the first few decades of the twentieth century by a wide range of manufacturers and are highly sought-after by
collectors today. For years confusion has abounded as to the proper identification of these dolls, as different factories made different parts and yet other
factories, often relying on home workers, assembled the dolls. In this comprehensive, profusely illustrated book, veteran researcher Mary Gorham
Krombholz unravels the mysteries behind the production of these dolls and
identifies the makers of their bisque heads. Relying on firsthand research,
often conducted on the very grounds in Germany where they were made,
and primary sources, she documents the complex and labor-intensive processes
by which character dolls were produced in the two major dollmaking areas of
Thuringia: Waltershausen and Sonneberg.
Individual and group photos of more than 800 character dolls, accompanied by detailed captions including highlighted markings, dominate this
invaluable volume. Personal historical accounts by those who worked for the
doll manufacturers, along with hand-colored period photos, shed light on the
specific tasks entailed in every aspect of the dollmaking process, from mold
making to glass-eye blowing to assembling the shipping boxes. Unequaled in
depth and breadth, Identifying German Character Dolls is an enlightening and
enthralling reference that every character-doll collector must own.

Hats, Caps & Bonnets 1855-1875:
12 Patterns for Dolls & an Illustrated History
by Marianne Burke
In this remarkable book, costumer and researcher Marianne Burke presents
a richly illustrated study of headwear in the twenty-year period between
1855-1875. Her detailed discussion of the development of hair and headwear styles throughout this era is accompanied by period photographs
known as cartes de visite, as well as numerous illustrations from fashion periodicals of the time.
It was during these years that the luxurious French lady dolls, so ardently
collected today, assumed their great popularity. Collectors of these dolls have
long been frustrated by the lack of accessible instructions and patterns for
headwear for their elegant models. This is the first book to teach methods of
constructing historically correct hats, caps and bonnets for French fashion
dolls of the mid-to-late nineteenth century. The methods of assembly taught
pertain to styles for dolls of more contemporary periods, as well.
Instruction in the practical matters of millinery construction, including
step-by-step directions for making bonnet frames and working with straw and
felt, culminate in the presentation of twelve fully illustrated patterns for making hats, caps and bonnets for lady dolls. Doll costumers, restorers and collectors will find this invaluable compendium an essential resource, while
lovers of fashion history will revel in its visual delights.

In following our mission to delight and instruct
book and toy lovers of all ages, we are pleased to
offer our collection of books designed to appeal
especially to children, but equally engaging to all
who retain a love of childhood. Author and illustrator Kathleen's Bart's A Tale of Two Teddies, now in its
sixth printing, has received international media
attention since its first publication in 2002 and has
been welcomed warmly by children in schools and
libraries nationwide who have heard Ms. Bart's lively
presentations. The story of the controversy surrounding the 1903 creation of the first teddy bear,
her book allows each of the two teddy bears to tell
his side of the story. In Town Teddy & Country Bear,
Ms. Bart retells a classic Aesop's fable with a teddy
twist, as cousins Tuxedo Teddy and Bandanna Bear
discover that the grass is not always greener on the
other side. She dons her chef's hat for Global
Gourmet, a multicultural cookbook of menus from
12 regions of the world. The 60 easy-to-follow recipes
are accompanied by informative sidebars and vibrant
full-page color illustrations featuring multicultural
celebrations and traditions.
Our Doll & Teddy Bear Activity Book is filled
with entertaining games and activities for children of
all ages, from the simplest connect-the-dots and
matching games to more complicated puzzles and
advanced word searches and crossword puzzles.
Children's book author Krystyna Poray Goddu's
brief histories of both playthings provide clues to
many of the activities. Illustrators Kathleen Bart and
Ginnie Hofmann contributed full-color paper dolls
and teddy bears for cut-out fun.
English dollmaker Lynne Roche's picture-book
debut is The Happiest Christmas, a charming story featuring nostalgic toys, playful kittens and dreams that
come true. Ms. Roche's evocative pencil-and-watercolor illustrations reflect the rich yet understated
appeal of the dolls for which she and her husband,
Michael Roche, are so well-known.
Well-known illustrator Ginnie Hofmann's
reprinted classic series of five children's books, led
by Who Wants an Old Teddy Bear?, continues to be
among readers' favorites. Featuring the adventures of
teddy bear Arthur and his owner Andy, this charming quintet of stories is told in simple language and
accompanied by Ms. Hofmann's appealing artwork.
