These were published in the years 1976-1981 and the main artist who drew them was Susan Morris. To my knowledge, the series began in 1976 with a Little Golden Book called "The Backwards Picnic" by Joan Chase Bowden and illustrated by Joanne E. Koenig. Following that was a Whitman Tell-a-tale Book called The Ice-Cream Parade by Joan Chase Bowden and illustrated by Kate Lang.

There were 16 boxed sets published in 4 different years, as well as various paper doll booklets (3 that I know of), painting and coloring books (5 that I know of), a word puzzle book, a Xmas ornament book and sticker fun books (2 that I know of).

Dear Minxkelly, WHERE CAN I FIND THEM?

I get dozens of emails a week from people wanting to buy the paperdolls or coloring books and all I can tell them is to look on ebay. EBAY is where I found each and every one of my Ginghams items. I have none to sell so please do not ask. sorry!

Note: these pages under progress, all subsidiary pages will be updated as often as time and my health allows. Please stop back often for updates. Thanks!

BIO
The blond girl I always envisioned and playacted was a frivolous sometimes snobby debutante. Apparently she had no hobbies or occupations, other than being a student.
The girl with raven tresses that I viewed as wealthy, well-bred and mostly friendly, sometimes prissy. She owned a fashionable dress boutique, but also ran a booth at the county fair.
The brunette overachiever with eclectic talents. She ran a country store as well as an ice cream parlor, but still indulged herself as an artist with her own studio.
The brunette with an earthy temperament and a warm, outgoing personality. She loved animals, owned a pet store and a farm, and was a great cook in her country kitchen.
