About the Book

Record Winning Song Writer

"Poet, weaver of words, storyteller par excellence — Lee, my dear friend for over fifty years, never fails to entertain and delight. I know her book will do the same."

— Jinx Senior, Designer, Weaver of Cloth, Artist

"Lee Pierce has been a close friend for many years. She is an energetic, fascinating and extremely talented and focused person. She possesses style, along with her wonderful and unique imagination."

— Barbara Alden Campbell, Fine Art Oil Painter

Working in a university setting has given me a bird's eye view of some of the world's most interesting and prolific people. Lee Pierce ranks up there with the best of them; she is one of Cambridge's hidden treasures.

— Elaine Tirrell, MIT, Administrative Assistant, Cambridge, Massachusetts

Lee Pierce is blessed with a romantic soul, a spiritual sense of awe, and a vibrant excitement at every discovery she makes. The original "chance taker," Lee has found through her amazing dolls history, romance, family ties and undreamed-of discoveries.

— Raimond del Noce, Senior Artist, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

"A true storyteller, Lee immediately engages and draws us in. These are stories whose time has come to be told. Lee has unlocked the doors to the experience of human souls."

— Jill Masters, Audio Actress, Narrator of Classical Works.

"Lee Pierce weaves moving and impressive stories throughout her book, all told from an unusual and fascinating perspective. It takes a Renaissance woman with a gift for writing, imagination and uncovering hidden history to bring these stories to life. And bring them to life she does!

— Jordan Rich, WBZ Boston Talk Host

"Crystal! Lee Pierce draws from a panorama of lands, oceans and peoples, to crystallize before us this history.

— Abbott R.F. Thayer, World Historian

About the Author

When LEE LAWRENCE PIERCE (b. 1946) was a young girl, her grandfather returned from Japan with a present for her. An inveterate tomboy, she hoped it would be something military, maybe a sword. Instead, it was an ornately dressed doll in a glass case. The well-mannered child, who had no interest in dolls, eventually discovered her true passion for dolls that had stories to share. Here are their stories.
