| This is the story of two classic British baby dolls, Tiny Tears and First Love. It investigates the design, development and manufacture of the various types which have appeared over the years. Many of the earlier dolls are now becoming collector's items. The book is colour-coded to help identification. It is divided into two main sections, blue for Tiny Tears, pink for First Love, and then further sub-divided by colour to indicate the different manufacturers.
The various versions of the Tiny Tears and First Love dolls are fully described and photographed, while separate chapters show body types, components, eyes and identification marks, as well as outfits and accessories. Other items of interest, such as instruction leaflets and logos, are also included. Family members of Tiny Tears and First Love including Timmy, Katie, My First Baby, Teeny Tears and Teeny Weeny Tears, are fully described, as are many of the related dolls which appeared under the Tiny Tears or First Love brand names. |
