A Girl for all Time is a British doll brand designed and marketed by the Daughters of History, Ltd. and made in China. The dolls represent young girls from different generations of the fictional Marchmont family. Each doll is dressed and styled according to her particular time in history. There are three dolls in the collection so far, Matilda, Amelia, and Clementine. Matilda is from the middle part of the 16th century, Amelia is from the Victorian era, and Clementine is from the late 1930s and early 1940s, during World War II.
The dolls are made out of vinyl and stand approximately 16.5" tall. They are sold for $134.99 on the Girl for all Time website. Each doll has three or four beautiful outfit sets and accessory packs that can be purchased separately. There are also three short novels that tell a story from each girl's life. The books do not come with the dolls, but can be purchased on the Girl for all Time website for $9.99 and also on Amazon for slightly less. I have been admiring A Girl for all Time's Matilda doll for quite a while, but after Char from Doll Diaries told me that the next girl in the Marchmont family tree would be a green-eyed redhead, I decided I'd better wait and let Clementine be my first Girl for all Time. She is a perfect doll to review at this time of the year, because her eyes and hair match the rapidly changing foliage here in the Northeast in an uncanny way:
