The beloved Madeline Charecter was created by Ludwig Bemelmans'in 1939 but not with much notiriety. Bemelmans presented hisMadeline to publishers in 1939, and editors at several publishing houses felt the book was too sophisticated for children, but it was finally published by Simon and Schuster on September 5, 1939. All five subsequent Madeline books were published by Viking, which remained his principal publisher for adult and children's books. After the success of Madeline's Rescue, for which Bemelmans received the Caldecott Award in 1954, he continued to write about the adventures of the Parisian schoolgirl in Madeline and the Bad Hat (1957), Madeline and the Gypsies (1959), and Madeline in London (1961). Viking published Madeline's Christmas, which appeared originally in McCall's magazine, in 1985.
Little girls, and thier mother's have beenplaying with the Madeline doll and all her friends for quite some time. The Original manufacture of Madeline Dolls and Accessories was EDEN, they then sold the rights to Learning Curve.Around 2003 Learning Curve felt Madeline needed an update andchanged the look of the Classic Madeline we love in the Bemelmans' books and gave the doll a more "MODERN" look. This did not go over very well with long time fans, sales dropped andproduction stopped.Thus all Madeline Dolls, Clothes, Furniture, Animals such as Genevieve, Clarabell, the cute Accessories, Games, etc. have all been discontinued by the current manufacture in 2004.
But don't dispair,I took my love for theadorable Classic Madeline Charecter and created my okay STORE, A BABIES SMILE. There you will findEverything and Anything MADELINE! Ihaveevery outfit ever made, all the accessories, furniture and even the darling Madeline French Doll House, with all her friends including Pepito, Nona, Chloe, Danielle, Nicole,
