Book Description
A beautifully designed, full-color collection of paper dolls created by Zelda Fitzgerald, lovingly compiled by her granddaughter, Eleanor Lanahan. Born in Montgomery, Alabama, Zelda Sayre Fitzgerald has long been an American cultural icon. A Southern belle turned flapper, Zelda was talented in dance, painting, and writing but lived in the shadow of her writer husband F. Scott Fitzgerald’s success. The golden couple of the Jazz Age, Zelda and her husband moved around—from hotels to rented villas to apartments in Paris—and Zelda always brought along her paints. Few people know she painted at all, and fewer still know she made paper dolls. But throughout her life, Zelda created dolls, whenever she could, in private. By design, paper dolls are delicate, fragile, and destined for destruction at the hands of children. Zelda’s dolls began as playthings for her daughter, Scottie, born in 1921. Fortunately, Zelda continued to make figures after Scottie outgrew them, first of their family and then of storybook characters—lavish, graceful, bold figures. These unique characters were a portable troupe, a colorful paper caravan that travelled inside her luggage. Zelda chose subjects she relished: society figures of the French Court, or Red Riding Hood’s predatory wolf, as vivacious as the girl. Whether they are cardinals, kings, or bears, the dolls are fashionably attired in ball gowns, armor, and capes. A gorgeous and unique keepsake and a perfect gift for book and art lovers, this delightful collection of Zelda’s paper dolls offers an intimate peek into the life of one of the Lost Generation’s most fascinating creative artists.

Book Description
Back in the Fall of 2001, Klutz created The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls, and it's a good thing we did. Almost 800,000 copies later, we are happy to say we have given it a brand-new face without messing with the time-tested content. These paper people wear their clothes with the help of reusable, press-on, peel-off adhesive dots - no tabs! The dolls, clothes, and accessories are perforated, ready to pop right out and play. Six reversible paper dolls in a variety of skin tones come with the book. Half of them have pre-printed faces, and the other half are ready to be customized. There are bunches of reversible clothes, shoes, and hairstyles that make exactly one jillion different combinations. (We counted.) Of course, any fashion expert will tell you that accessories are the key to snappy dressing, so we've provided plenty of them, from hats to sunglasses to soccer balls to tiaras. To round out the family, three baby paper dolls and a few paper pets are also included. Artists from around the globe were commissioned to create six beautifully illustrated backdrop scenes. Prop open the book to one, and your dolls are transported to a beach, ballroom, theatrical stage, neighborhood park, winter wonderland, or only-slightly-messy kids' bedroom. In the back of the book is a nifty portfolio-pocket armoire, providing plenty of wrinkle-free storage for the dolls, clothes, and accessories after they've been punched out. The Fabulous Book of Paper Dolls is a fabulous introduction to a classic activity - now freshened up for a whole new generation.
