Adelina was, as you may already have surmised, a bit of a floozie. Not an outright strumpet, but improperly fond of flirting with those lusty farm boys. (Do not be surprised to find a stalk or two of straw among her flowing locks.) How her father despaired of her reputation, & how difficult she made it to secure an advantageous marriage - preferring, as she did, a handsome face to a sizeable bank balance.
Indeed, it was behind a haystack that she was discovered one summer morning, not, as her parents had feared, ravaged by the reapers, but gathered to his bosom by the Grim Reaper himself, her pale & perfect throat marred by two small puncture wounds which still seeped a little gore upon her snowy lace gown.
19" (48cm) tall, Adalina is entirely handsewn, using sustainable resources: recycled cotton, vintage lace & glass beads; her hair & filling are both UK-produced wool.
