The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls de Bertha Upton
A verse tale of peg wooden dolls come alive on Christmas Eve, playing and pranking and escaping out the door.
½
Yes there is a golliwogg here so flee now if that without context is enough to put you off.
Another beautifully illustrated adventure starring the intelligent, brave and charming Golliwogg and his 5 lady friends the Dutch Dolls.
Golliwogg returns from Paris having learned about hot air ballooning and its not long before he and the ladies have built their own.
Unfortunately what follows is really nothing but a sequence of near death experiences that quite terrified my inner child. The wonderful drawings really emote when the Dolls are balling their eyes out and really capture the looks of horror on their faces :( .
I know Disney pulls this crap all the time and of course everything works out all right in the end (also i'm running a temperature of about 150 at the moment) but still i really could of done with a little more joy and a little less terror.
So not as good as the other 2 of books in this series i've read but still well versed and drawn.… (mais)

Kind of messed up but everything works out ok in the end. Great drawings again and a good message overall. Given it's from 1899 i really wasn't sure how the story was going to go. Not exactly anti-war but not pro either.
And i like that the characters have different reactions to the situation.

So glad another of these has been scanned to the web. The Golliwogg heads north along with his pretty awesome lady-friends the Dutch-Dolls.
As well as being possibly offensive for having a golliwogg in it (although he is the hero), environmentalists may also want to look away as the protagonists do try to kill most forms of local fauna. On the up side they rarely succeed ;) .
Really nice rhyming story and beautiful drawings.
