Book Description
Concentrating on Cissy, Lissy, Cissette, Alexander-Kins, Little Genius, and Elise, this book continues the theme of the late Patricia Smith's Encyclopedia of Madame Alexander Dolls, 1965-1990, which was a great seller for many years. This encyclopedia spans the years 1948 through 1965, which covers the vintage hard plastic dolls of the golden era of Madame Alexander dolls. Most of the highest valued dolls today were made during this period. The dolls from this era consistently win top honors in competition at the national conventions of the Madame Alexander Doll Club. Many of the dolls that began in this period (Cissy, Wendy, and Cissette) are the center of the Madame Alexander line today, after a time span of almost 50 years. You won't want to miss this exhaustive resource on the dolls made by the Madame Alexander Doll Company. 2006 values.

Book Description
Tracing developments in toy making and marketing across the evolving landscape of the 20th century, this encyclopedia is a comprehensive reference guide to America's most popular playthings and the culture to which they belong. From the origins of favorite playthings to their associations with events and activities, the study of a nation's toys reveals the hopes, goals, values, and priorities of its people. Toys have influenced the science, art, and religion of the United States, and have contributed to the development of business, politics, and medicine. Toys and American Culture: An Encyclopedia documents America's shifting cultural values as they are embedded within and transmitted by the nation's favorite playthings. Alphabetically arranged entries trace developments in toy making and toy marketing across the evolving landscape of 20th-century America. In addition to discussing the history of America's most influential toys, the book contains specific entries on the individuals, organizations, companies, and publications that gave shape to America's culture of play from 1900 to 2000. Toys from the two decades that frame the 20th century are also included, as bridges to the fascinating past—and the inspiring future—of American toys.
