He was born in 1620 (you could tell this was way before I took college biology & evolution). By the time I was ten, he was gone. I kept asking my parents what happened to Maune years later, but they kept saying he was in some box. To this day, I wonder if we have him or not. I'd love to revive him.<BR/><BR/>My mother would love Hepzibah. She's into dolls just like that. Mrs. Z and I sometimes find her dolls like Hepzibah and mail them to her. They can get pricey, but you can find them used by people who have no idea their worth.<BR/><BR/>The best dolls I've ever seen though were in Ventura, CA. There's a guy who makes dolls of famous European historical figures. They're actually scary, because they look like miniature people. He's got their faces and costumes down to a t. Amazing work.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17765202.post-32325901212550352792007-09-18T20:44:00.000-04:002007-09-18T20:44:00.000-04:00I love the bios!
