Product Description
In this book, the history of the company is presented, as well as a chronology of molds and trademarks, boxes, labels and inserts, furniture, special items, advertisements, and original company brochures. The dolls are presented according to series: Flower Girl, Around the World, Sports, American Girl, Dolls of the Day and Dolls of the Month, Nursery Rhyme, Hush-a-Bye, Little Miss Pattycake, Operetta, Family, Masquerade, Powder and Crinoline, Storybook, and Fairyland. Over 1,500 detailed color photos of these dolls, and a helpful glossary are provided. REVIEW: Authors Elaine Pardee and Jackie Robertson have painstakingly researched and documented Nancy Ann Storybook dolls to make this book comprehensive. With the devoted help of numerous collectors, they compiled a reference book to be used as both a research tool for identification and a picture book for pleasure.
About The Author
Having had Nancy Ann Storybook dolls in her childhood, Elaine Pardee discovered her love for them once again in 1974 at a local doll show, where she met co-author Jackie Robertson. She presents seminars, workshops, and slide programs on the various dolls by the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company, paper dolls, and other related topics at UFDC conventions and conferences.
Reader Reviews
Ever since the early fifties I have had Nancy Ann Storybook dolls and this book is a must own for anyone interested in these dolls, if for no other reason than it boggles the mind to see how many of these dolls were made, and for all ethnic groups which is interesting when one considers black and Asian dolls were almost unheard of in the pre-60's days. Today I must have about twenty five of the dolls including a Nun doll but haven't been able to find the black doll that had the blue and white plaid dress which I had as a child. My dolls are heirlooms that will be passed down to family members who appreciate the workmanship. The book has so much information on the start of the company and how even during WW2 they were big sellers. And the photos are awesome.
