Introducing NoBody Charlotte
Charlotte's Tale of Woe
Charlotte was born in 1938. On her very first day in her new home, she fell off a table and was carried outside by the family dog. She knew right away that the rest of her life would be unpleasant. Charlotte's owner was a terror. She played doctor with Charlotte; she stuck her with pointed sticks; she finally lost her in a field behind the house. SOLD There poor Charlotte lay through hot summers and freezing winters until picked up by an itinerant photographer in 1945. By that time, her body was in shreds. The photographer took her home and photographed her head for some obscure reason. Eventually, she was tossed into an armoire where she languished, unnoticed, for many more years. Charlotte's fate was sadder than most, but she remains defiant and hopeful to this day.

Introducing NoBody Fred
Fred's Tale of Woe
Fred lived a long and happy life. He belonged to a boy whose mother was enlightened and progressive - the moment her son expressed an interest in dolls, she purchased Fred. He joined Sailor Sam, Raggedy Andy, and Mr. Goo-Poo in countless hours of make-believe. Fred did, however, became somewhat unhinged (you can see it in his eyes) when his beloved owner lost interest in dolls and moved on to entomology (bugs!). But Fred never complained and rested contentedly for his remaining years, next to his old friends Sam, Andy, and Mr. G, in the family's attic. A fire took the house down, but Fred and the other dolls were saved - singed, but saved - by an observant and quick-footed fireman. Fred was rediscovered in 1948 in a London thrift shop. He is not bitter; his life was happy, and he was never mistreated.

Introducing NoBody Sylvie
Sylvie's Tale of Woe
Life is unfair, or so they say, and Sylvie's life was no exception. Her cheery disposition never had a chance to be shared with any child - Fate played its hand early and with surprising cruelty. When she was sparkling-new and on her way to the toy store, the delivery van she was travelling in was involved in a collision with a milk truck. Boxes of dolls were scattered over the cobblestones of Rue des Fleures. Sylvie's box was run over by several other automobiles. During the clean-up, she was simply overlooked. There she lay in the gutter, her hopes shattered. So unfair, so very unfair.
