Sweet Caroline

Momma is such a history geek.

Right now she's happily channeling her inner Neil Diamond:

Where it began,

I can't begin to knowin'

But then I know it's growing strong

Was in the spring

And spring became the summer

Who'd have believed you'd come along.


Why? Because it has just been confirmed at BookExpo America that the next historical American Girl doll to be released in September 2012 is named Caroline Abbott and based in 1812.



Hmm, just in time for the 200th anniversary of the War of 1812?


So far we don't know what Caroline will look like, but girls in 1812 would wear Regency clothing similar to Josefina's.
