Chelly, where did you get that book? It really interests me. Thank you for all your information, and your terrific work. GOD BLESS YOU.
I’m glad you’re finding the topic interesting! I didn’t use books for most of this research. I’ve been visiting online museums, learning about the dolls, and generally doing a lot of research about each doll.
I’ve been trying to include a bibliography of my resources at the end of each blog post. Let me know if I forgot one, though! You can use the links I’ve provided to learn more about each doll, as you read the articles.
I suppose I could write a book of my own! I have an agent who’s trying to help me get one of my books published, so maybe the history of dolls would be a good book for me to look into writing…
That would be wonderful! thank you for sharing.
