Zoe’s going to love her birthday present this year. She already loves to play with dolls and loves fancy dresses on them and this popular British doll a Girl For All Time is all about fancy and intellect. The popular British Girl for all Time Dolls are so beautiful and stylish they’ve been featured in British Vogue! And now Amelia and Matilda have made the leap across the pond to delight American girls. I love these amazing girl dolls.

Designed by a British boutique toy company, A Girl for All Time® is an authentic, intelligent collection of dolls and books unlike any other on the market today. The costumes are designed by trendy London fashion designer Katya Wildman and Emmy nominated costume designer, Caroline Harris (A Knight’s Tale, An Ideal Husband). The dolls are crafted using a combination of traditional hand-sculpting methods and the latest in computer technology to create a doll that looks like fine porcelain, but is in fact durable vinyl, ready for many hours of active play.

Not only are they beautiful, they are intelligent, too! A Girl for All Time® draws on important events throughout British history, which are explored and beautifully recreated within the series by following the eldest girls in the fictional Marchmont family through 500 years of history, intrigue and adventures. The novels are written by twice-BAFTA nominated screenwriter/director, Sandra Goldbacher, and the Director of the Royal College of Art, Pete Salmi, has crafted the beautifully illustrated Keepsake books.

We received Matilda:

She’s so beautiful and had drawn eye lashes and some real ones. Her dress has beautiful details and so do her shoes. She has accessories that you can buy along with the books and diaries.

She has a story of the secrets she learned while she was at court with Queen Katherine of King Henry VIII. All I can picture in my head is all the stories from The Tudors so I’m going to have to read the book that we received as well to make sure it’s ok for little girls to read. I’m sure it is, but I still want to make sure.

Winner ‘Best Doll’ 2011 & 2012, Oppenheim ToyPortfolio ‘Platinum‘ winner,  and ‘100 of the Best Educational Toys‘, this uniquely British brand encourages intelligent, creative play for girls 6 and older.
