Back in the day, paper dolls were rosy-cheeked little dumplings with bright flouncy frocks and pasted-on smiles. Though perpetually perky, those sunny lasses were hard to identify with; one could never imagine them sitting down with a book or having a deep thought in their heads. Fortunately for us, artist Catherine Campbell of My Folk Lover has updated the classic form with a series of pensive modern girls we'd be happy to have our daughters keep company with. Based on Catherine's original ink and watercolor illustrations, each collection includes 3 dolls with matching outfits and accessories rendered in exquisite detail. Prints are heavy matte cardstock that will withstand hours of play or could, alternatively, be framed to hang in a child's room. Prints = 6" x 8.25"; each doll measures approximately 5.25" high. Dolls are meant for older children who can handle sharp scissors. If this is a gift for a younger child, mom or dad will have to do the cutting. Self-adhesive magnets may also be attached to the pieces for easier play for little hands. Australia.
