Editorial Reviews

From the Inside Flap

This encyclopedia of photographs and research provides the most comprehensive view of the Effanbee Patsy and her family of dolls. Patsy is sought after because so many families of girls could not afford this doll during the Depression Era. Now grown up, these girls of yesterday will not be denied owning a Patsy doll.

The encyclopedic coverage features Patsy and her doll family up through big sister Patsy Lou and covers the late 1920s through 1949. Detailed coverage is provided for the cloth-bodied Patsy which is less well-known than the later all-composition jointed Patsy. Extensive coverage on the styles and proper costuming of the dolls is included with nearly all the dolls shown in their original costumes. Variant types using Patsy bodies are included, giving their true identities. Original advertising from old catalogs is included along with rare items from the prestigious F.A.O. Schwarz toy store in New York. Each type of Patsy doll has its own well-organized chapter, including the boy doll Skipper, making it convenient to locate a certain doll for comparative purposes.

The doll collector and student of the doll customs of the Depression era find this research and photographic study of immense help in identifying and enjoying these wonderful Effanbee dolls.

About the Author

Patricia N. Schoonmaker began her interest in writing with a high school journalism course. She was invited to become a member of Quill and Scroll International Honorary Society and served as Editor of her high school newspaper. Later, she was to write publicity stories for Shirley Temple and Deanna Durbin for their club newspapers in the early 1940s. Seeing Shirley Temple's doll collection inspired Pat to begin her own.

The author has been a member of the United Federation of Doll Clubs since 1956. She has privately published Research on Kammer and Reinhardt Dolls, Further Research on Kammer and Reinhardt Dolls, and The Effanbee Patsy Family and Related Types, as well as many articles for Doll News and The Doll Reader.

In her collecting years, Mrs. Schoonmaker has acquired much original resource material on Teddy Bears along with antique dolls. She has shared many of her findings through publications and slide programs about teddy bears and dolls. To her good fortune, her husband John's hobby is photography which makes a good team for research projects.

The Schoonmakers are the proud grandparents of Lisa and Kevin Schoonmaker, and Jonathan, William, and Christopher Koeningsaecker for whom they buy teddy bears.
