Irwin~ Anne of Green Gables~ Waiting at The Station Doll -Unplayed with

On offer is a lovely, Anne of Green Gables doll. This Anne with an E doll, was designed by the Canadian artist Yvonne Richardson and made by Irwin Toys in 1989. Anne is the beloved heroine of LM Montgomery's famous Anne of Green Gables stories set in Avonlea on Prince Edward Island in Canada. I read all these books, several times as a child and love them to this day. Anne is well loved for her strength of character and endearing charm. An orphan sent to live with an elderly brother and sister, who were expecting a boy to help with the many farm chores. With her forthright speech and mischievous ways, she soon wins her way into the hearts of the couple, as well as the community. Her story has been told not only in books that have been translated into many foreign languages but also in the television series. This 19" tall vinyl and cloth doll is made to represent Anne Shirley and entitled "Arriving at the Station". The doll has a stuffed cloth body with vinyl forearms and legs below the knees. A vinyl head with rooted bright red hair in pigtails, green fixed eyes, pert facial features, pale pink lips and a sprinkling of freckles. Anne is dressed in a green cotton print dress with a plain green pinafore tied at the back with black ribbons and worn over ecru pantalons. Her outfit is nice and crisp, it doesn't appear to have been washed or removed On her feet she wears black cotton knit stockings under black vinyl boots that fasten on the side with Velcro. Her clothing is nice and clean. On her head she wears a straw hat with a brown ribbon. HEr hat has some missing parts to the outer brim as pictured. The doll is marked on the neck R&D Macdonald / Yvonne Richardson / c 1989/ Anne / of Green Gables. The doll is in excellent clean, gently handled condition, her hair has lots of original curl to the end of her braids, she is missing the ribbon on the end of her left braid as pictured.
