![]() ![]() The figure in the background to the self-portrait described above is not Edith, Dare Wright's mother, but, rather, Edith, the doll. This is certainly true and I likely conflated what I had seen in a handful in the past to the total. The Lonely Doll was re-issued in 1998.ĭare Wright grew old, an alcoholic, was horrifically raped, mentally confused, and died alone, perhaps the inevitable fate of the inspiration and living template for The Lonely Doll.īrook Ashley, executor to the Dare Wright estate, advises me that the spanking scenes do not occur in all of the books. First editions of The Lonely Doll books (Wright wrote nineteen between 1957-1981), in fine condition with dust jacket, sell from $325 for the earliest, subsequent volumes, and up to $750 for a fine first edition of The Lonely Doll, the first book in the series, Wright's first session of self-psychotherapy, and the best-seller of all of them. ![]()
