And along the way, her dolls multiplied into an amazing collection. Dolls of wood, wax, porcelain, cloth and bisque. Child dolls, lady dolls, and American cloth folk dolls. Dollhouses, lavishly furnished, peopled with bisque dolls, that bring “life-bursting forces” (Ackerman, Dolls in Miniature) to the scene. 9" x 9". Softbound. 148 full-color pages. $49.00
