The toy shop fight for a Cabbage Patch Kid

Available for over a year

Liz Farrow's mother went into battle in a K-Mart store in Santa Cruz, California, to get her daughter a Cabbage Patch Kid. Liz, who works for BBC Arabic, describes her experience of the US-wide craze for the dolls in the early 1980s and how parents pushed and shoved to get their hands on the toy. She speaks to Anna Doble for Pick of the World. (Photo: Liza Farrow with her Cabbage Patch dolls. Credit: Liz Farrow)
