By popular demand Florence Kate Upton the authoress of that 1894 classic: "The Adventures Of Two Dutch Dolls And A Golliwogg!" has posthumously blessed those who would revive her work.
While she freely admits that "in this tale, I set out initially to describe the Golliwogg as 'a horrid sight, the blackest gnome'," she did subsequently repent and "made him good, loveable and brave, giving him a 'kind face'."
So began a tale which led to the breakfast table thanks to a wellknown jam maker who turned Golliwogg into Golliwog launching generations of Golly collectors .

Free gollispeech!
Golliwogs unite! The pretentious world of the sanctimonious, supercilious Politically Correct must be smashed. Only the small minded, simplistic, intellectually challenged could see harm in a child's toy. This is the sort of thinking that defines 'black mood' as a racist comment. A pox on them and all their kind.
