Dare Wright was the author and photographer behind the iconic children's series The Lonely Doll, detailing the adventures of the Lonely Doll Edith and her friends, the Bears. Behind the camera, however, existed a hauntingly beautiful, enigmatic, eccentric woman of multiple talents and limitless imagination whose personal life resembled a tragic fairy tale. Separated from her beloved brother as a child, forced into isolation and instability by her possessive mother, losing her dashing fiance on the eve of their wedding, Dare turned to her childhood toys to create a miniature world of fearless princesses, compassionate dolls, and mischievous animals. But Dare's own happy ending would not be so simple.
