3.0 out of 5 stars
An ambitious book,
By MATHON Sandrine (France) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Encyclopedia of Regional Dolls of the World (Hardcover)
Presented as an Encyclopedia, this book contains general information and one or several regional dolls from each country. The information is interesting but one would have expected more explanations about the meaning/origin of each dress/doll for the country. Some of the dolls are classified by topic (dancers, religion, brides...) which somewhat meets that expectation. The quality of the dolls is heterogeneous, from the plastic doll for tourists to the wonderfully dressed and hand-crafted ethnic doll. I could find similar dolls to the ones I own, which was really exciting, despite a few typos. In general, this book is quite complete since all kinds of regional dolls and countries are represented. Fewer dolls, with better quality and more analysis, might have been a good choice, like in "World colors: dress and dolls" by Susan Hedricks and Vilma Matchette. But it is a completely subjective point of view.
