(Everybody seems to be from Ohio, myself included.) Dare's parents divorced when she was three. Her mother was celebrated painter Edith Stevenson Wright, an Ohio native. For what I think is a more reasonable account of the accused scene, read Dare's Goddaughter, Brook Ashley's, story about the book HERE.ĭare Wright was born in 1914. Sorry, but kids did get spanked for misbehaving in those days, with nothing but parental punishment involved.
Bear spanks Edith for making a mess, are today considered unsavory and inappropriate in a children's book. The shortness of Edith's dress,(a common length for little girl's dresses at the time.),and the picture in which Mr. These days the books draw creepy accusations of eroticism. Kids were enchanted by the pictures and the tale of a 'live' doll and 'live' teddy bears. When I was a kid the Edith books were always checked out of the school library. This month's Doll Book of the Month Club entry is a series of books: the Lonely Doll books by Dare Wright. She works at a vets office and has,according to her, 'been sanitizing the crap out of that place' several times a day. On the same subject, I worry about my best friend, Lori, working and living in Georgia,where the state is starting to open already. Keep yourself, and others you may come in contact with,safe.
Be careful what you touch in public places. In any case, I don't want anyone to go rushing off to a park and start touching every surface, and wading in amongst groups of people. There were others who seemed to be enjoying the tailgate of their truck for that purpose, which seems much more wise. I winced at the sight of the people picnicking on the parks' tables. The people enjoying the park were,for the most part, also behaving in a wise manner, keeping within their own social groups of those they probably live with,(their children.etc.),apart from others. We didn't come in close contact with anyone else. We also spent most of our time there in the car, driving around to different parts of the park,stopping briefly to take photographs,many of which were shot from inside the car. Although Ken and I did 'partake of the park', apart from the walk in the woods, we didn't touch anything at the park. To begin, I want to address something related to my last post. ***Thanks to reader Dorothy for bumping my mind into remembering to list the Edith dolls made by several companies over the years.
