The Book Table and the Butcher
What a busy place! So much
hustle and bustle. In the foreground you can see the Book Table. Mr.
Holmes is perusing a book while it looks like Dodger is picking his
pocket! Oh Oh the British Bobby has seen what is going on and is about
to blow the whistle. |

Reginald is
one of the first dolls I made. He is a real character, who loves to
joke around. As you can see he has a very generous nature |
Donald runs
the Book Table. He is an avid reader himself and spends many happy
ours discussing books with his customers. |
Mrs. Snooty and her daughter Miss Snooty are two of my early dolls. Mrs. Snooty is modeled after 90 year old lady, Rose,whom I used to care for. She was not a bit snobbish, but liked to make the snooty face and posture to make me laugh. She was still alive when I made the doll and was so delighted with it. |
Scrooge looks very pleased
with himself. He is hurrying somewhere with that turkey. Is it for
him or is he giving it away? |

Here is a closer look at the 'goings on' at the bookstall . You can see in this picture that Dodger has stolen Mr.Holmes valuable gold watch while Fagan looks on approvingly. Neither of them notice that they are being watched by British Bobby. |

A front view of Mr Holmes being robbed of his watch.This little scene appeals to my sense of humor. First mixing the characters of two books is fun, then the fact that the great detective's pocket is being picked by the lowly Dodger tickles me. I made the Holmes doll when I came across the perfect fabric for his outfit, he is holding one of those smoking pipes that curve down, but you can't see it is the picture.. Dodger and Fagan came later, just because I love those characters. |

The Butcher, Oscar, is
