Matilda launches a new set of dolls telling the story of British history through the ages. Winner of the Best Doll 2011 at the ToyTalk Awards, Matilda, from A Girl for All Time will entrance older girls who love their dolls but are growing up. Matilda, Your Tudor Girl, retailing at £89.99, is the first in a new line of dolls launched by boutique UK toy company Daughters Of History aimed at eight-year-old girls and upwards. A doll with an educational twist, Matilda is themed to the Tudor era, complete with a range of hand-sewn period clothing, a keepsake book to inspire playtime ideas and a novel, Matilda’s Secret. Written by BAFTA-nominated Sandra Goldbacher, it recounts the story of court life through the eyes of a lady-in- waiting to Katherine Howard. Other historical dolls from different eras will be available soon. www.agirlforalltime.com
