The doll that walks and talks and has a bag with all her clothes in comes from the Enid Blighton classic The Enchanted Wood. When the land of birthdays comes along and it just happens to be Bessie's birthday, all the folk from the faraway tree get to go and have a party. Bessie or Fanny (i forget which one) wishes for a doll that walks and talks all on it's own, and she gets this darling little doll that carries her own bag with a change of clothes in it.
