British Teenage Dolls 1956-1984
Frances Baird

Teenage dolls with fashionable clothes, boyfriends, dream homes and exciting accessories were introduced in the late 1950s as toy manufacturers rushed to match the aspirations of the post-war baby boom generation. From the earliest Roddy dolls of DG Todd to the ever-popular Sindy, doll expert Frances Baird provides a fascinating account of the development of these dolls. Creations by Palitoy, Pedigree and Denys Fisher, as well as lesser-known makers such as Rosebud, are described and illustrated in detail making this book a delight for any collector.
