"For many years Zelda and Scott Fitzgerald, the golden couple of the Jazz Age, moved from hotels to rented villas to apartments in Paris. Wherever they lived, Zelda brought along her paints. Few people know she painted at all, and fewer know she made paper dolls. But throughout her life, Zelda created dolls in private. By their nature, paper dolls are fragile and are destined for destruction at the hands of children. Zelda's dolls began as playthings for her daughter, Scottie, born in 1921. Fortunately, Zelda continued to make figures after Scottie outgrew them, first of their family and then of storybook characters - lavish, graceful, bold figures. These characters amount to a portable troupe, an itinerant paper caravan that travelled inside her luggage. Zelda chose subjects she relished: society figures of the French Court, or Red Riding Hood's predatory wolf, as vivacious as the girl. Be they cardinals, kings, or bears, the dolls are fashionably attired in ball gowns, armor, and capes. Readers will delight in this comprehensive collection of Zelda's paper dolls"--

Paper dolls might seem the height of simplicity--quaint but simple toys, nothing more. But through the centuries paper figures have reflected religious and political beliefs, notions of womanhood, motherhood and family, the dictates of fashion, approaches to education, individual self-image and self-esteem, and ideas about death. This book examines paper dolls and their symbolism--from icons made by priests in ancient China to printable Kim Kardashians on the Internet--to show how these ephemeral objects have an enduring and sometimes surprising presence in history and culture.
