The actual doll which Dare Wright photographed for the Lonely Doll books was a Lenci doll. Dare Wright customized her Series #109 Lenci doll, repainting the face, reworking the hair and redressing her to bring us the Edith we know and love. The Anniversary Edition from R. John Wright is 22 inches tall - the exact size of the original Edith doll. This is the first Edith doll ever done in her actual size!

John's interpretation of Edith is a wonderful combination of authenticity and John's own phenomenal creative talent. She is fully jointed and made of the finest all-wool felt. Her face has been artistically sculpted and delicately hand-painted to closely resemble the original and her hand-knotted wig is made of the finest real hair. The Lonely Doll is outfitted in Edith's signature gingham dress created in a truly unique fashion. The gingham pattern was meticulously pieced together from all-wool felt in custom-dyed shades of pink. The result is outstanding! Over her dress she wears a dainty apron made of cotton organdy which fastens at the back with two mother of pearl buttons. Her undergarments consist of a cotton organdy teddy with hemstitched edge - an exact replica of the original - and a cotton slip with fine Swiss embroidered trim. On her feet are woven cotton anklets with scalloped edging copied exactly from the originals and black felt shoes with glass buttons.

As a special anniversary gift, around her neck is a beautiful 14k gold locket. The locket opens to reveal photos of her best friends, Mr. Bear and Little Bear! 14k gold hoop earrings are another special touch John has added to this anniversary edition.
