Florence Upton is credited with popularising the gollywog in the 1890's with books about a gollywog and 3 Dutch dolls which had adventures everywhere and all the writing inside rhymed. I think there are about 5 or 6 books in the series and Florence mother , berths did the illustrations of the books , which are now collectable as they were children's books so very rare in good condition. Although they now have modern reprints which can be purchased cheaply
