3.0 out of 5 stars A Nice but not a Great paper doll book, November 2, 2001

By	J. Garlen "coolcatjuniper" (HUNTSVILLE, AL USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Mattox's rendering of the classic Austen characters is helpful for English teachers and probably appealing to many Janeites, but Mattox is not Tom Tierney, and her drawings lack the bold lines and aesthetic superiority of his work. While I would like to see more paper doll collections illustrating literary works, I wish that they could all be as lovely and artistic as the books by Tierney. Mattox is GOOD, but she isn't GREAT, and on that level this book was something of a disappointment to me.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, July 9, 2003

By A Customer

My problem with the book is that the characters are drawn to look like the actors in the A&E production of Pride and Prejudice who did not always resemble the characters as described in the book. I found it disappointing.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bought this for a friend..., August 28, 2001

By	bookjunkiereviews (India) - See all my reviews

Actually, I considered keeping this for myself. Then I reminded myself that I am not that fond of paper dolls. The characters in the book were the major characters - Elizabeth Bennet, Mr Darcy, Lydia, and some others. A variety of costumes was provided for each character. This is a fun book for someone who loves paper dolls (even an adult!) and/or loves Regency-style costumes. A Jane Austen fan like me might like it, but then again might not. There are similiar books in this series, including one on the general Regency period and on the French Empire fashions. A gift likely to delight a young or older collector of paper dolls, or a lover of antique English costumes.
