Fancy Nancy debuted in a 2005 children's book series written by Jane O'Connor and illustrated by Robin Preiss Glasser. Fancy Nancy is a wild, young girl with a larger-than-life personality who adores all things fancy. Always dressing extravagantly, Nancy loves to wear feather boas, tutus, ruby slippers, fairy wings and fuzzy slippers. Using big fancy words such as iridescent, ecstatic, extraordinary and anything in French is of utmost importance to Fancy Nancy. Magically brought to life by Madame Alexander, The Toy Shoppe carries a wonderful selection of their Fancy Nancy play dolls and cloth dolls.
