  1. From American Girl to Trolls, a conversation with DWA's Shawn Dennis

    In 1959, Danish fisherman and woodcutter Thomas Dam couldn't afford to buy Christmas presents for his daughter. So he carved a doll based on the legendary Scandinavian troll. This doll wasn't the scary, somewhat evil troll of Scandinavian lore, but a friendly, welcoming creature, one that would inspire one of the most popular toys of the 1960s. With their shocks of colorful hair and googly eyes -- and the initials DAM stamped onto the bottoms of their feet -- the dolls are still coveted by collectors around the world. In 2003, they made the Toy Industry of America's list of most treasured toys of the century.
