Kirsten Larson won the poll for the Doll of the Month for October 2023!
(Edit made by AGDN reader Raine)
In 1854, Kirsten just moved from Sweden to America, settling in Minnesota after a long journey. Along with her family, Kirsten experiences the challenges and surprises of a new life in America, including going to school and making friends, celebrating holidays, the arrival of a new baby sister and even being attacked by a bear and her house burning down.
Kirsten was released in 1986 and retired in 2010. In celebration of American Girl's 35th anniversary, Kirsten was rereleased for a limited time in 2021.
PLEASE BRING HER COLLECTION BACK!!! Including furniture! Can you even imagine how many of us AG collectors from the late 80s and early 90s would spend to get the old furniture and clothes? Bring it back!! I still have my Samantha from 1988 and my Kirsten from 1989.
Kristen is so nice! She is a daring pioneer girl and I admire her!
Kirsten kind of reminds me of Holly Hobbie and little house on the prairie.
Great Post! Samantha and Kirsten were my first AG doll. They are Pleasant Company orginials. I've had them for over 30 years. My girls have grown up with AG and still are. Kirsten's story is my favorite, starting over in a New World. I hope AG will re-release like they have Molly. That would be very exciting. Take care and thanks for all your posts!!
yas it's my girl!!! :D 🥳🥳🥳🥳
