There's a Friday night deal that Alice cannot miss - five pasties for a pound at Dreggs The Baker on the Sunderland High Street. "Here's one and one and one and one and one pasties" said the girl behind the counter who seemed a little mad. "But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked. A boy at the oven said "Oh you can't help that, we're all mad here."
"How do you know I'm mad?" demanded Alice.
"You must be, you're here!" they all cried. "Oh mackem" said Alice leaving for a river walk. She ate a pasty and didn't feel well at all. "I feel peculiarer and peculiarer" said Alice.
Alice is wearing a blue silk dress with big puff sleeves and lace cuffs.
Bright long blonde hair is tied off her face with a blue ribbon.
She has a clay over cloth face and hands which are hand sculpted and painted. The rest of the doll is made from cloth.
Using the old fashioned method of button joints at the shoulders and hips she is sewn at the elbows and knees for movement.
Designer cotton lace and crochet lace is used for her pinny, tied at the back with a big blue bow.
Underneath she wears bloomers trimmed with lace and blue ribbon.
Her little black pumps and striped stockings are hand painted on.
This doll is 17” (inches) tall. Do not give to under 5s
