'Jenny Wren', c1900. Jenny Wren - whose real name is Fanny Cleaver - is 'the dolls' dressmaker' in Charles Dickens' novel "Our Mutual Friend": 'little Jenny Wren...was small and deformed, though she had a beautiful face, and the longest and loveliest golden hair in the world, which fell about her like a cloak of shining curls, as though to hide the poor little mis-shapen figure'. From "Stories of Children from Dickens", told by his granddaughter Mary Angela Dickens and others, with an introduction by Percy Fitzgerald, illustrated by Harold Copping, [Raphael Tuck & Sons Ltd, London, c1900]
