Beautiful plates from around World War I. Three generations...grandparents Lynn and Lily; parents Raymond and Margery; Nancy, their oldest daughter; Janet, two years younger than Nancy; Ray Jr., Holly, and Gretchen are all attached as one doll, the youngest of the family. Each member of the family has everyday clothes, coats, clothes for outdoors (so Lynn can go golfing, Raymond and Margery can play croquet, and Nancy and Janet can play tennis;)), and their very best for Nancy's wedding. A happy ending: "radiant bride" Nancy and her new husband Charles. Very nice book, but not my favorite of Tom Tierney's. The three children and their toys make it more pleasurable for kids. I say it's definitely worth it! Great buy!

I purchased several of Tom Tierney's historical paper doll sets to augment my family history projects. I have 150 years of family photos which are mostly in black and white, of course, so it's great to see the period clothing in detail and in color. The paper dolls will add so much to my research and my family's appreciation of the historical times and stories. Although I intend to keep the paper dolls uncut, they are printed on card stock which would be easy to cut and not tear apart if well-cared for.

This was a very nice set. It helped complete my American families set. thank you very much for having it. Brenda
