    This is a wonderful set capturing a piece of history and providing the mindset of how children were introduced to the war time. I really enjoy period artwork that tells a story.

    Two interesting things about these paper dolls: They are the ONLY time we see Dolly's mother and father. Also, the father is smoking a cigarette. It's so 1910s, I just love it.
