From the Author:
While researching my first book, Feedsack Secrets, I ran across a number of flour and sugar sacks with dolls printed on them and wondered about their story. Which one came first? How many Sea Island Sugar sack dolls were printed and what was the scoop behind their Dolls of All Nations? Can a year be placed on the famous Ceresota Boy or Arkadelphia Milling's Dolly Dimple? What line of dolls were released by the Rodkey family of Edmond, Oklahoma? When did the run of flour sack dolls end?
Months of collecting dolls and searching old newspapers for tidbits of their story followed. Those findings are shared in Rag Darlings. I hope you enjoy the story and find it useful as you search for dolls to add to your own collection.
