William Shakespeare
In the 1980s, I was taken with a beautiful Red Riding Hood doll about which I saw and read in a popular doll magazine of the day. The Red Riding Hood doll was purchased by actress Demi Moore. The doll was created by Lucia Friedericy. From the time I read that article, I researched Ms. Friedericy beautiful wax-over-porcelain dolls. Several years ago, I saw her present her dolls at an Idex show. It was my hope to one day own one of her fine creations. After 20 years of dreaming, and working, I acquired William Shakespeare, or "Shakes" as my daughter and I affectionately nicknamed him. He was perfect for my budget, my background in my love of the writings of Shakespeare and a grand fulfillment of a long-time dream to have one of Lucia's wonderful dolls in my collection.
Thank you to Lucia Friedericy for a wonderful doll and experience the day I acquired him in 2011.
