Mikado Paper Dolls Book

This unique collection of paper dolls pays tribute to Gilbert and Sullivan's much-loved musical, The Mikado, recapturing its winning mix of grandeur and playfulness. All the principal characters appear in paper doll form: pretty Yum-Yum and dashing Nanki-Poo, Ko-Ko and Katisha, Pitti-Sing and Peep-Bo, Poo-Bah, Pish-Tush, Go-To, and the regal Mikado. Dolls portraying a pair of lesser characters, Pish-Tush and Go-To, are based on portraits of Gilbert and Sullivan themselves. The costume wardrobe includes kimonos, robes of state, and accessories, while two background settings depict a tea-house in Ko-Ko's garden and a pastoral scene for the performance of "Titwillow." Complete with actors, costumes, and scenery, this collection offers the basics for a paper-doll production of The Mikado, in addition to its keepsake appeal to Gilbert and Sullivan fans of every age.Read More
