Mirette on the High Wire

Porcelain and Wood 14"

Edition of 750

Retail Price $650

Emily Arnold McCully created an un- forgettable character in Mirette. Her book, Mirette on the High Wire, published by G.P. Putnam & Sons, won the coveted Caldecott Award for 1993. Dressed in her signature middy of electric blue wild silk and with her carrot curls tied in a startling magenta bow, Mirette comes alive in Lawton's limited edition doll. Mirette has a porcelain head and hands on a hand-carved, spring-jointed wooden body and comes with a copy of the book autographed by the author.

The Fantastic Drawings of Danielle

Porcelain and Wood 14"

Edition of 750

Retail Price $695

Set in turn-of-the-century Paris, The Fantastic Drawings of Danielle is a book to treasure, both for the story and for the illustrations. Danielle, the plucky hero of the story, is the perfect character for Lawton's new Children's Literature series. With brown hair and hazel eyes, Danielle is a study in subtlety. She looks like she stepped from the pages of the book in her raw silk coat of dusty plum over a dress of tobacco brown. She wears an oversized straw hat and sturdy boots. Danielle has a porcelain head and hands on a hand-carved, spring-jointed wooden body. She comes with her father's intricately crafted camera and a copy of the book autographed by the author.
