About This Item
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1985. Hardcover/gebunden. Schutzumschlag am unteren Buchrand berieben, , Buch sehr gut erhalten! Once there was a little doll. Her name was Edith. She lived in a nice house and had everything she needed except someone to play with. She was lonely! Then one morning Edith looked into the garden and there stood two bears! Since it was first published in 1957, The Lonely Doll has established itself as a unique children's classic. Through innovative photography Dare Wright brings the world of dolls to life and entertains us with much more than just a story. Edith, the star of the show, is a doll from Wright's childhood, and Wright selected the bear family with the help of her brother. With simple poses and wonderful expressions, the cast of characters is vividly brought to life to tell a story of friendship.

The Lonely Doll is the first children's book in a series by photographer and author Dare Wright. The story is told through words and photographs. It was first published in 1957, went out of print for years, and was reissued by Houghton Mifflin in 1998. It is in its 10th hardcover printing since then. Wright, whose own life was speculated upon as being reflected in this tale of a lonely, yet mischievous doll "adopted" by two bears, wrote 10 books starring Edith and the bears.
