I found a complete full-color version of Florence K. Upton's "The Adventures of Two Dutch Dolls and a Golliwog."
This is the little book that started the Golly craze--it's delightful. :D

Thanks for the link, Eileen . . . that is a great photo!

Yes, but keep clicking on the forward arrows when you have time. There are about 72 pages in all, and the story's almost as cute as the illustrations!

Thanks Eileen! I have copied every page of the book to my computer. I had heard of the book but never seen a copy. I must say the story is somewhat scary for little kids don't you think!

I know!! My British hubby gave our kiddies a copy of "Strewelpeter" when they were young. :rolleyes:

For anyone who doesn't know it, this is a nineteenth-century picture/story book about the awful things that happen to naughty children. :(

Once my kids were a little older, of course, they loved it.

Yayyyyyy Eileen......thank you so much for the link.  Actuallly it is possible to buy it if you can find it, even on e-bay, goodgollyfanatics have been snatching them up.  I lost out on a an auction but about $50.oo

Like Jane I will copy every page!  Thank you Sweetie.  I will love the pictures

I'm glad you like it. I got curious I had no idea there were any around, outside of libraries. $50 probably isn't a bad price.
