Storybook Series #125 "ALICE THRU THE LOOKING GLASS"




Bisque doll with blonde mohair wig. Movable arms and frozen legs. White muslin underpants. White taffeta dress trimmed with blue satin ribbon is tied at the back with blue satin ribbon. Blue ribbon also adorns her hair. She is wearing a white eyelet apron. Doll has original wrist tag and also comes with a stand.

Blue dotted box is in excellent condition with some minor soiling. The bottom of the box has a small tear. Silver label is attached and includes two cardboard inserts.  

General note:  The earlier Alices were Alice in Wonderland while the later ones were named Alice thru the Looking Glass.  Alice is always a blonde and is the only Nancy Ann Storybook character found with the bangs and longer hair (though the later versions do not have the bangs and longer hair.)
