When I purchased my first Robert Tonner Wilde Imagination doll - Angelique De La Nuit back in August, I never thought it would lead to the arrival of several more. Up until then, I had always favoured smaller dolls, mostly because of space.
The few larger play dolls, which I had gathered in my early years, soon found themselves being packed in boxes and shipped off to new homes. I had to make room for the two new families that were beginning to arrive.
Even though these dolls are beautiful and very elegantly dressed, I knew I wouldn't be content by simply looking at them. Nor was I happy to be constrained by Tonner's stories, my dolls needed to tell their own tales.
