| Teenage dolls with fashionable clothes, accessories and dream homes were introduced in the late 1950s as toy manufacturers rushed to match the aspirations of the then teenaged 'baby boom' generation. From the earliest Roddy dolls to the ever-popular Sindy, Frances Baird describes their development, first dealing with the manufacturers of larger teen dolls in the late 50s, then presenting an illustrated A-Z of Sindy-sized 60s and 70s dolls, from Abba and Action Man to Tommy Gunn and Tressy. | ||||

| Created in 1895, the Golliwog was to become one of Britain's most popular toys during the early 20th century and, more recently, one of its most controversial. This comprehensive study, drawing on the author's own collection, features hundreds of examples of black imagery as applied to dolls, books, advertising, posters, ceramics and postcards. Intended as a reference source for both beginners and seasoned collectors, it also examines the social history of the golly and its impact on a multiracial society. | ||||
