Ursula Mertz's first volume on composition dolls was received with great enthusiasm, and interest by doll collectors, and quickly sold. The second volume presents hundreds of clear photos and new research in this field. Marionettes and puppets are new features in this volume. Composition doll collecting as it relates to the internet is also a new section covered in this book, as well as questions most often asked by collectors. A biography of Harriet Flanders, creator of the Little Cherub, is included. 2004 values.
