From the Inside Flap
This encyclopedia of photographs and research provides the most comprehensive view of the Effanbee Patsy and her family of dolls. Patsy is sought after because so many families of girls could not afford this doll during the Depression Era. Now grown up, these girls of yesterday will not be denied owning a Patsy doll.
The encyclopedic coverage features Patsy and her doll family up through big sister Patsy Lou and covers the late 1920s through 1949. Detailed coverage is provided for the cloth-bodied Patsy which is less well-known than the later all-composition jointed Patsy. Extensive coverage on the styles and proper costuming of the dolls is included with nearly all the dolls shown in their original costumes. Variant types using Patsy bodies are included, giving their true identities. Original advertising from old catalogs is included along with rare items from the prestigious F.A.O. Schwarz toy store in New York. Each type of Patsy doll has its own well-organized chapter, including the boy doll Skipper, making it convenient to locate a certain doll for comparative purposes.
The doll collector and student of the doll customs of the Depression era find this research and photographic study of immense help in identifying and enjoying these wonderful Effanbee dolls.
