This site is meant to support those visitors to my 'doll's paradise' online showcase who do not understand German. After a short description of my small boutique of dolls in Braunschweig and after a brief portrait of me, this page will explain how to access the pictures of my dolls. The descriptions of the dolls are not in English, but I hope you can cope with this little difficulty nevertheless.

In case you understand German a little bit, it might be worthwhile for you to turn to the German version of my site, which is much richer in text than the English version. There you will find - for example - a reprint of some articles that have been written about me and my reproductions of antique porcelain dolls, further a news corner, a detailed link list (see also the brief English version of my link list) and an article on the question of collecting antique dolls versus reproductions. I'm sorry for not having translated these passages into English as well, which would have been too time consuming. But if some day I recognise that there are lots of English-speaking visitors to my pages who are writing lots of emails to me, I would surely change my mind!

But anyway, the main attraction of a site about dolls are pictures of dolls - aren't they? So let's go ...

to the photo section!

Or maybe you would like to first see

an introduction to my shop in Braunschweig a brief portrait of me how to contact me?

By the way, you can also use the navigation bar on top of each page. I hope you will enjoy the following presentation!

Sincerely yours
Barbara Benken
