Reprinted from a rare original edition published by The Saalfield Publishing Company in 1937, this volume includes two 11-inch-tall dolls and 16 appealing full-color costumes: red-and-white windowpane-checked sundress, brown riding breeches, pleated orange party get dressed with purple bows, a smartly belted off-white sunsuit, and a pair of pink pajamas with cap sleeves, trimmed in blue. As a special added feature, black-and-white photographic insets on every costume page show Shirley dressed in the unique outfits copied by the artist for this collection.
Complementing the cute moppet’s wardrobe are various period playthings and accessories — toy horse and long-eared pooch, hats, purses, jack-in-the-box, toy soldier, and more. Shirley Temple fans will in finding this volume a treasure chest of wealthy memories; paper doll fans and children of every age can stay up for hours of fun-filled entertainment.
