Product Description
Product Description
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, Frances Baird gives a fascinating account of the development of these dolls. Creations from Palitoy, Pedigree and Denys Fisher, as well as lesser known brands such as Rosebud, are described and illustrated in detail making this book a delight for any collector. Frances Baird is an expert on post-war dolls, having been a collector for over forty years. She has written several books including Action Man and Hard Plastic Dolls 1940-1950 for New Cavendish Books and contributes regularly to many doll magazines.

If you are a Pippa or Sindy fan, you will be delighted by this little gem-(the title is slightly off -putting and does the entire book no justice,) as there is much more inside, and easy to read and learn which helps you to then date your collection .Highly recommended

Excellent value for money. This book is great if you are a Sindy, Daisy or Pippa collector.
Photos of naked and clothed dolls. So you can see the difference in body shapes.
As a Sindy & family collector I found this book really informative.

An ok book but not what it appeared to be. There was one chapter (not very much!) on teenage dolls such as Roddy, Pedigree, Rosebud. A few photos but nowhere near enough information. Don't think the author is an expert on these dolls! The book was mainly about Sindy!! NOT recommended if you are not particulary interested in Sindy.
