A Midsummer Night's Dream Paper Dolls
More Shakespeare
Illustrator Tom Tierney has dressed the characters in this comedy classic - Oberon, King of the Fairies; the mischievous Puck, Moth and Peaseblossom - in apparel of Shakespeare's time. Lovely, diaphanous robes comprise wardrobed for the lovely Titania, Queen of the Fairies; and for the charming woodland fairy figures - Hyssop, Sweet Violet, Chickweed and Woodbine, who can be dressed in flowing gowns designed to reflect the forest's wild flora.
Like the play, which makes use of fairies and magic spells, this lovely collection of intriguing characters and their imaginatively rendered costumes will enchant Shakespeare devotees, fairy tale enthusiasts and paper doll fans of all ages.
Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream was first performed at a society wedding celebration in Elizabethan England at which Elizabeth I was the guest of honor. Because Queen Elizabeth was often referred to as the Fairy Queen by poets of her court as well as many of her subjects, it was only natural for Shakespeare to weave a fairy motif into his play. This masterwork has been the inspiration for many subsequent operas, ballets and paintings. In fact, Mendelssohn's Wedding March was written for a 19th century production of the work - and this remains one of the most popular wedding marches ever written!
Included are 9 dolls and 14 plates of costumes. The paperbound volume includes 32 pages and measures 9-1/4 by 12-1/4 inches.

The Dalai Lama Paper Doll
More Buddhist Items
The influential spiritual leader of Tibetan Buddhism, the Dalai Lama is also Tibet's head of state and most important political leader. Forced to leave his native land when China invaded Tibet in 1945, Tenzin Gyatso, the fourteenth Dalai Lama, moved to India; from there he frequently travels to countries in the West, teaching and lecturing in his pursuit of world peace. He was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1989.
The tradition of the Dalai Lama (meaning Ocean of Wisdom in Tibetan, reaches back many centuries to the first Dalai Lama, Gedun Drupa, whose founding of a monastery and extensive writing on the teachings of the Buddha in the 15th century began an unbroken succession of Tibetan spiritual leaders.
The 14th Dalai Lama (born Lhamo Thondup) often sites a favorite prayer, from the writings of the Buddhist scholar Shantideva, summing up his greatest sources of inspiration:
For as long as space endures And for as long as living beings remain, Until then may I, too, abide To dispel the misery of the world.
Tom Tierney pays tribute to this renowned teacher in a paper doll collection featuring the revered Buddhist leader and his parents at different stages of their lives. Outfits include formal ankle-length robes of brocaded silk and a fur-trimmed long coat, as well as shirts and prayer shawls of traditional saffron and maroon. Admirers of the spiritual leader - and anyone intrigued by Tibetan culture - will prize this authentically detailed collection.

Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera Paper Dolls
More Frida
This wonderful collection includes 29 outfits for Frida and 2 complete outfits for Diego as well as 2 additional jackets. The printing is as vibrant as Frida's beloved strikingly vibrant colors of her homeland. The book measures approximately 12 by 9 inches and contains 16 pages of costumes.
Frida Kahlo is an exceptional figure in Mexican history; her relationship with Diego Rivera was, for 25 years, the center around which the outstanding national, artistic, social and political groups of the first half of the 20th century, revolved. However, far beyond her role as Diego's wife, Frida was an artist who made an unquestionable contribution to the Mexican expressive arts; she was also a woman of vanguardist social ideas who held considerable sway over her generation.
Frida carefully cultivated her image; as an adolescent, her short hair and dresses clearly belied her special tastes. Later she began to use regional costumes, above all those worn by the Tehuanas or women of the Tehuantepec zone of Oaxaca, Mexico. Often adorned with flounces, pleated ruffles and beautiful embroidery, these traditional garments would subsequently become her personal trademark. Her distinctive style blended imitation and find jewelry as well.
By using full-length dresses or jeans, Frida sought to conceal her thinner right leg, which, originally a consequence of polio, was worsened by an accident at the age of eighteen. Although Frida was destined to spend her life amid physicians, hospitals and operations, she never ceased to cultivate an image that portrayed her as brimming with life and color.
We can imagine the ritual of her daily preparations before embarking on everyday domestic tasks like taking Diego his lunch in a basket, or sitting to work at her easel. She painstakingly selected her skirt, blouse, shawl, ribbons and jewelry, braided her hair and completed this extraordinary harmony of color form and texture with the floral headdresses that crowned her image for the day.
