Description
Dating back to pre-Ancient Egyptian times, the earliest surviving dolls were probably religious idols, rather than childrenâ€s playthings. This highly illustrated history examines materials used in doll-making and includes sections on dollâ€s houses, puppets and teddy bears. There are examples from Persia, Pakistan and Brazil, alongside the 19th-century child-pleasing French ‘bébé†that could cry or drink from a bottle, and the rival German doll that could whistle when pressed.
