It has been nearly thirty years since any American book has been published on this celebrated Italian doll company. Years of primary research by Lenci expert Nancy Lazenby have resulted in the most comprehensive book ever created, tracing the company's eighty-two-year history and production of fine felt dolls. Based on founder Elena Scavini's unpublished memoirs, interviews with her grand-daughter and with Bibija Garella, one of the last owners of the company, as well as with key people involved in the final decades of Lenci's history, this stunning volume also features more than four hundred colour photographs of dolls and other items made by the company. The full reference section presents detailed photos of specific features by which Lenci dolls can be identified, a visual history of the various tags used from 1919 through 2001 and a close look at a variety of felt dolls often misidentified as Lencis. This beautiful book is an invaluable reference for beginning and advanced collectors alike.

Established over many years as the definitive book on the subject, Colette Mansell's monumental work is now available in paperback for the first time. Tracing the history of doll-making in Britain from 1920 to the present day, this book gives detailed information on the dolls produced by large factories and well-known companies, as well as those made by small concerns, cottage industries and individual doll-makers. The innovative and realistic fabric dolls made by Chad Valley, Farnell, Dean's Rag Book Company, Norah Wellings and others during the 1920s and 1930s are great favourites with collectors, and extensive research has been carried out by the author. Sections on doll's-house dolls, costume dolls, unidentified and miscellaneous dolls, and the valuation of dolls are included, along with a fascinating chapter devoted to the now highly collectable dolls of the Royal Family. This book is intended not only for those beginning a collection but also for the experienced and discerning collector.
