You're in for a treat. especially if you love antique dolls.
"Conversations with Mademoiselle ZoZo" is set in rural France and
describes the imagined adventures of an actual 200-year-old doll's
first 50 years "The charming story of ZoZo, a Grodnertal "wooden"
and her various owners begins in the early 19th century during the
empire of Napoleon Bonaparte... Although basically a children's
book -- the author brings ZoZo to life so that she can converse and
share in the adventures of her young mistresses -- it also holds
appeal for collectors as a frame of reference in this period of
turbulent social changes. Reproduced are images from an 18th
century French novelette discovered by the author. The second part
of the book is devoted to actual events and fashions of the era, in
particular the influences that might have affected ZoZo's wardrobe
as she came under the whims of her successive mistresses. The
author also includes an empire dress pattern to fit ZoZo's 14
inches. A delightful bit of whimsy, it is sure to find readers of
all ages. (Antique Doll Collector Magazine) "I like how you didn't
use plain words. You used exciting words." (Gracie -Age 10) "ZoZo
lived in luxury and in the very opposite. She learned about history
and famous people like Louis Braille, Napoleon, etc... I enjoyed
learning all about the little clothes and accessories she was given
by each new owner." (Tatiana - Age 11)
