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.

This review is from: Dolls Remembered (Paperback)
We remember our dolls for all kinds of reasons. They were important to us. This is a treasure of reflections on dolls, and what they mean at different times in life. What's their enchantment now? Why were they ever important? This collection of stories reveals the way dolls hold our attention, sometimes long after we have set them aside. The author also tells us the roles dolls have played--even in ancient times.

Delightful Book,

This review is from: Dolls Remembered (Paperback)
Dolls Remembered is a delightful book that features many stories of dolls collected or enjoyed. I was so pleased to be asked to contribute a story to this book. I chose a very special doll that has been a favorite of mine ever since I "met" her as a child. This book has heart and was created with a charitable goal in mind, that of supporting Special Olympics in Northern Virginia. If you love dolls and want to know why they become beloved objects of material culture, then this book will provide some insight! Patricia Cummings

It is the perfect gift from a mother to her daughter and grand-daughter. The uniqueness of a doll to a girl is timeless; as being told in this collection of childhood memories.
