Once upon a time former (and much missed) Lemurian, Kaycie, and I posted a couple of blogs that were inspired by Emily Winfield Martin’s Black Apple’s Paper Doll Primer. I made up scenes from the provided characters and landscapes and Kaycie came up with tales to accompany the paper dolls.
This image is from a blog titled Once Upon A Paper Doll in which Tom and Hedgie go on an adventure to a circus.
And this is from A Day in the Life of Hedgie where we join Hedgie in a day filled with mermaids and narwhals.
As exciting as the paper doll book was, now Emily Winfield Martin has written a children’s book titled Oddfellow’s Orphanage. It includes many characters from the paper doll primer and several new ones. The story is of Headmaster Oddfellow Bluebeard and his ragtag team of Professors, groundskeeper, school nurse and the amazing children that have made their way to the orphanage.
Martin takes you on many wonderful adventures with some very whimsical and memorable characters.
