Summary

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.
