Encyclopedia of Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls, Vol. 2 » (Revised)

Having had Nancy Ann Storybook dolls in her childhood, Elaine Pardee discovered her love for them once again in 1974 at a local doll show, where she met co-author Jackie Robertson. She presents seminars, workshops, and slide programs on the various dolls by the Nancy Ann Storybook Doll Company, paper dolls, and other related topics at UFDC conventions and conferences.

In the first volume about these dolls, Encyclopedia of Bisque Nancy Ann Storybook Dolls, 1936-1947, Pardee and her co-author Jackie Robertson cataloged the hundreds of bisque storybook dolls made by the company. In Volume 2, Pardee has enlisted the knowledge of Deanna Bardfield, Anne Lien, Lynne Neagle, Ray Radley, and Lillian Roth to showcase this company's variety of dolls and their costumes. The book includes 'the charming small storybook baby dolls that started Nancy Ann on her road to a successful doll,' an extensive plastic storybook section, a photographic delight of the lovely Style Show dolls, and the matching wardrobes of Muffie and Debbie, the playtime dolls, along with Lori-Ann. Pardee gives the reader an opportunity to learn about the vinyl Baby Sue Sue, a large baby with a wardrobe of her own, and offers a never-before-seen catalog of the extensive wardrobe of the vinyl Miss Nancy Ann and Little Miss Nancy Ann high-heel dolls of the 1950s. There is no other research book on the market that covers these dolls so extensively.
