Guide Review - Book Review: Cherish Me Always

I thoroughly enjoyed this book, and lost track of time while browsing its pages. Its hard to find old photos of children with dolls and toys, and seeing the dolls and toys in their original settings is priceless. The series of three silver print photographs from the 1930s is worth the price of the book alone! The book could even be used as a resource for doll house or miniaturists setting up a Christmas morning scene with their dolls or doll house. Most of the photos are from the early 1900s through the 1930s, but there are a few photos later and earlier as well.
