The Lonely Doll series by Dare Wright
As a child, these books fascinated me. I knew the difference between drawings and photographs. These illustrations were actual photos and therefore they were 'really real'! Edith really went outside. She gathered eggs, found a kitten, went to the beach, tried on lipstick, cut her hair! She inspired my own dolls to travel the world resulting in lost shoes, missing limbs, dirty faces and otherwise have grand adventures.
