I am 12 years old, and I already have a collection of more than 25 paperdoll books. This a wonderful book. It includes the grandparents, Thaddeus and Matilde, their son Benjamin & wife Lucinda, & their children, Montgomery(18), Jean Marie(15), Annabelle(10) & twins Elery and Clara(5). It shows the family during the beginning of the war, and includes outfits for all occasions. My favorite is the ball dress for Jean Marie & the one for Clara. I HIGHLY reccomend this book.

This book is the most best paper doll book I've gotten by Tom Tierney so far and I have a lot Paper dolls that he made and I think that it is one of his best. In this book it shows three generation like most of the other paper doll books. The grandparents are Thaddeus and Matilde and their child is Benjamin and his wife is Lucinda. Lucinda and Benjamin's children are Clara,Annabelle, and the twins Clara and Elery. They also have an adopted child who is Lucinda's cousin's child. Because the men here are depicted as soldiers they dont have any clothes only army clothes similiar to Thaddeus's shown on the cover. But the women and the boy have four sets of beautiful clothes. It shows what they would wear for parties,riding,walks and all kinds of other things.With easy to read notes this is a great book and it would help you understand more about what people wore during the Civil War. This book is a MUST for paper doll fans and I HIGHLY recommend it.
