Stories about the days of Martha Washington, like cooking, their plantation, how they got things we get from the store, clothing of the time... contains MW's dresses in the paper doll form. Instructions at the end on how to cut them out carefully. It's a paper doll book that no one would cut into. The paper is thick but not high quality but mine is in very good shape, perhaps owing to the thickness of the paper. The colors on the dresses are pastel and pretty.
