Mansell's Masterpiece!,
By Marlene Florence (Edinburgh, Midlothian United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The History of Sindy: Britain's Top Teenage Doll 1962-1994 (Paperback)
This book is undoubtably required reading for any Sindy doll enthusiast. Collette Mansell has produced a very full, chronological masterpiece about the history and world of the wonderful doll. Spanning the 60s,70s,80s and 90s,Mansell introduces us to each decade explaining the fashions of the time. She shows us, extensively, how the Sindy of that era looked and all her friends, clothes and many accesories.Being a child of the 70s, who owned lots of Sindys and a huge amount of her accessories (most of which i no longer have) this was a trip very much down memory lane. The book is packed full of beautiful colour photographs on nearly every page. We are shown exclusive photos of dolls and accessories never actually released to the public, special edition Sindys and foreign Sindys. Nothing has been missed out of this book, anything you could possibly want to know about Sindy is in here. It is a remarkably thorough account of how the doll has morphed in to different shapes and forms, from being a kind of dumpy doll in the 60s, through getting more moving limbs, shutting eyes and right through to the nineties where she has become a tall, slim and busty babe. This book is a must for any Sindy fan. The price is extremely reasonable and in case you have not noticed, I cannot praise it enough!!

I Heart Sindy,

This review is from: The History of Sindy: Britain's Top Teenage Doll 1962-1994 (Paperback)
Essential retro/kitsch reading for any true Sindy fan - or even just a really good present for any woman who was a kid in the 1970s. Lots of pix, good for pointing at and saying 'I had that, and that, and that... Mum wouldn't let me have the horse...' etc. Could do with a nerdy separate index of Sindy doll serial numbers though for the anoraks (ie me).

This review is from: The History of Sindy: Britain's Top Teenage Doll 1962-1994 (Paperback)
This book is a valuable assett not only to the Sindy collector ,but to all those little girls now young woman who grew up with her. My daughters find themselves in deep reading with the occasional shout Wow..I had one of these...they perhaps do not realise that they still have..in my loft ...the natural hoarder that I am !It is very well written and the photographs of all the past and more modern Sindys are a delight, not only that but all the clothes and accessories that were produced are listed telling in what year and what was contained in them. A really good priced well worth every penny book...you will not be dissapointed !
