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, doll expert Frances Baird provides a fascinating account of the development of these dolls. Creations by Palitoy, Pedigree and Denys Fisher, as well as lesser-known makers such as Rosebud, are described and illustrated in detail making this book a delight for any collector.
