A beautiful doll with long, dark curls and a velvet coat has been passed
from owner to owner: a spoiled little girl, a farmer and his wife, a
woman who works the ring-toss booth at a county fair, a chauffeur, a
waiter, and a dirty-faced boy. Keep me and love me and give me a name,
begs the doll. Finally, her luck changes when she meets a little girl
who appreciates her and takes her home. Originally published in 1983,
the slightly shortened text is beautifully interpreted in Dan
Andreasen's nostalgic oil-painted illustrations.
