	Golliwog
		The first Golliwogg was created by Florence Kate Upton[?], an American born of English parents.
		When Upton moved to England at age 14, she spent several years drawing and developing her artistic skills.
		Although Upton's Golliwogg was jovial and friendly, later Golliwoggs would be portrayed as sinister, and even menacing characters.

	Pollywogs and Golliwogs
		As a child Florence Kate Upton (1875-1922) had lived in Flushing, New York where she had played with a minstrel doll bought at a fair.
		When Florence returned to England in 1894 following the death of her father she hit upon the idea of a children's book, the doll was found in an attic where it had been abandoned on a previous visit and it became the hero of her story.
		Florence quotes another attempt at a derivation: "...golli being a corruption of Dolly, a child's puppet, and wog a low form of the verb to wag".

	The Celebrity Collector: Clinton Derricks
		The golliwog doll actually began life as a storybook character created in 1895 by Florence Kate Upton, a writer living in New York before returning to England with her family.
		But it was a character based on a doll Upton owned as a child that became the star.
		Derricks said the argument could be made that Upton meant for him to be more gnome-like, but the golliwog's features round eyes, thick lips, fuzzy hair and broad grin fed into a racial prejudice that was endemic in Victorian Edwardian Britain.

		In the children's books of his creator, Florence Kate Upton, he is unfailingly gallant and generous.
		And Upton herself once told an interviewer that "no-one believes in his good humour, his gentleness, his genuineness, more than his so-called creator".
		The problem seems to have been that Upton based the golliwog's appearance on a "fl minstrel" doll that she had found lying around at home.

		He is unable to escape from the room which is rapidly filling with smoke: “Rings of blurred colors circled around him, reminding him briefly of a childhood picture in a frightening book about triumphant vegetables whirling faster and faster about a nightshirted boy trying desperately to awake from the iridescent dizziness of dream life” (104).
		This image appears to be drawn from yet another of Upton’s books—The Vegeman’s Revenge (1897), one of the few that did not feature the Golliwogg and his penny-woodens.
		This is, I believe, it: not the crude anguish of physical death but the incomparable pangs of the mysterious mental maneuver needed to pass from one state of being to another (104).
