ABOUT THE BOOK

Remember your favorite childhood doll? For many, she was a beautiful baby doll with golden curls, big, blue sleep eyes, a voice that plaintively cied "MA-maaa," and had a tag that read "Horsman."

Ages, it seems, have passed. But you can still recall those long-ago summer afternoon tea parties. You may even remember the secrets you whispered in your doll's ear back then, when you cherished your usually silent, ever-understanding wee friend.

Now you are a grown-up. Perhaps you are lucky enough to still have your Suzie or Molly or Caroline, whatever you named her so long ago. Or perhaps you have replaced her with an identical doll, found in a thrift shop or on ebay.

But you have questions, things you've forgotten or never knew. When was she made? What did she look like when she was new? What did she wear originally? How can I repair or care for her now? And the question everyone asks, How much is my Horsman vinyl doll worth?
