About American Girl:
American Girl is a product line of approximately 18 inch (45 cm) tall dolls launched in 1986 by the Pleasant Company. The dolls come in a variety of styles with several ethnicities and are designed with an age range of nine to eleven. They are sold with a matching companion book that tells the girl's individual story. Originally, the stories were based on various sections of American history, but in 1995 they were supplemented with characters and stories of contemporary life. A selection of matching clothing and accessories are also available for purchase.
Pleasant Company was founded in 1986 by Pleasant Rowland, and its products were initially available for order only through the mail. In 1998, Pleasant Company was purchased by Mattel. Pleasant Company has won the Oppenheim Toy Portfolio Award eight times.[1]
