A Gift From The Lonely Doll by Dare Wright

A Gift From The Lonely Doll by Dare Wright

Edith (The Lonely Doll) struggles with the choice of a Christmas gift for Mr. Bear, finally realizing that something made by hand would be far better than something bought in a store. A knitted muffler seemed a perfect choice, especially since Edith, Mr. Bear and Little Bear are planning to spend the holidays with cousins Charles Bear and Albert Bear in the snowy hills of upstate New York. Edith knits whenever Mr. Bear isn't watching, hiding her project in a woven basket without realizing how much yarn she's been using. When the presents are opened on Christmas morning, Mr. Bear's gift is long enough for three bears Edith is miserable about it, until she finds the perfect solution. She cuts the muffler into gifts for both Mr. Bear and his two cousins, and the day ends very happily.

Dare Wright (1914-2001) was a New York City-based fashion model and photographer. Her debut book, The Lonely Doll, was published in 1957 and included her childhood doll Edith and two teddy bears. The book's combination of fascinating black and white images and simple, lyrical prose made it an instant hit, landing it alongside Dare Wright's next Lonely Doll book, Christmas For Edith And The Bears, on The New York Times Best Seller list. Edith, Little Bear, and Bear are featured in the fourth book in the series, The Lonely Doll Learns A Lesson. It was captured within the limits of the author's New York City apartment when it was first published in 1961. Dare Wright's original negatives, which she developed in her little darkroom, were used to create all of the pictures in this book.
