The Victorian period was
perhaps the finest era of childhood. The family revolved around the children.
Their toys were beautifully handcrafted, and no expense was spared to provide
them with the most exquisite playthings imaginable. Wendy has captured the
very essence of Victoriana with the newest collection, Playthings Past.
This is a complete collection,
ending with the three dolls that have been introduced for 1989. Wendy was
interested in presenting a unique family of children; an older brother,
and sister and a little sister. They are sold individually, but, since they
present such a lovely "portrait" when displayed together, it was
decided to introduce all three in the same year, rather than one a year
for three years.
