<table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="4"><tr><td><em> A must for the serious Alice collector. 101 of only 250 worldwide. Mohair pig is adorable.

The Wright doll is faithfully based on the original Tenniel illustrations. It shows the heroine holding the famous baby - which turned out to actually be a pig! Standing approximately 17" tall, Alice is fully jointed and made entirely of the finest all-wool felt incorporating a realistic sculptural body and a compelling portrait face with hand painted features. Her lovely hands have individual fingers and she has a meticulously hand-rooted wig made of fine European human hair - a first for R. John Wright.
