Grant in his underwear,
By Candace Scott (Lake Arrowhead, CA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ulysses S. Grant and His Family Paper Dolls (Paperback)
If you're the type of person that enjoys viewing American icons clad in their underwear, then this is your baby. General Grant is shown basically unclad and then the nimble-fingered among you can dress him in uniform, black suit or even tails. Fred Astaire would be so jealous!Grant's family is also shown, as well as his much-hated son-in-law, Algie, his crabby father-in-law, Colonel Dent, and his mismatched parents, with whom Grant had strained, weird relationship. All of the dolls strongly resemble the actual people and this is a marked strength in the booklet. The clothes are also accurate and appealing. The front and back covers of the book contain a fairly accurate representation of Grant's life, with the fanciful inclusion that Gen. and Mrs. Grant actually had five children, one of whom was lost in infancy. This "lost child" has no pedigree and no mention is made of this mysterious babe in any of the existing Grant literature. If you're a fan of Grant or a fan of paper dolls in general, this is a fine (and fun) book.
