Re: Felicity and American Girl Dolls
in reply to a message by Dianatiger
A. I enjoyed the Felicity American Girl books as a kid. I liked that the events of the first book were relevant later on in the series, so many kids books are disconnectedly episodic, so it was nice that what happened earlier was built on.
B. It appears that the Felicity doll is no longer sold, but I expect many libraries still carry her books.
C. Since Felicity is rather an uncommon name, the American Girl character may have been the first encounter that some people who were born in the 80s and 90s had with the name, but there are other pop culture references associated with Felicty like actress Felicity Jones or DC Comic's Felicity Smoak. Felicity isn't tied as intensely to one character/person the way that Dorothy is, and I still consider Dorothy usable.
