  Longest chain of paper dolls: Julia Donaldson breaks Guinness World Records' record (VIDEO)


 
LONDON, UK -- London's South Bank Centre was filled with paper dolls as picturebook author and former children's laureate Julia Donaldson succeeded in breaking the Guinness World Records' world record for the longest chain of paper dolls; 50 volunteers and fans from around the world, 45,282 paper dolls were laid out precisely until a chain measuring 4549.7m had been achieved,
setting the new world record for the Longest chain of paper dolls, according to the World Record Academy: www.worldrecordacademy.com/.

 The previous Guinness World Records' record for the longest paper doll chain consisted of 28,580 paper dolls, measured 2,683.21 m (8,803 ft 2 in) long and was made by Tiffanie Tallman and Fostering Hope (both USA) in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.

  Guinness World Records also recognized the world record for the largest display of handmade dolls; it is 3,000 and was achieved by Yoshihito Suzumura, staff at his workshop Chikyu-Ya and volunteers from the local area (all Japan). The dolls were tied through strings and displayed in Chikyu-Ya, Sintou-mura, Gunma, Japan.

  With the help of her publisher, Macmillan Children's Books, 50 volunteers and fans from around the world who submitted tens of thousands of hand-designed dolls over the summer, 45,282 paper dolls were laid out precisely until a chain measuring 4549.7m had been achieved, smashing the previous record of 2683.21m.

  That's the equivalent of 40 football pitches, almost 61 jumbo jets, or 80,000 jelly babies laid end-to-end.

  Donaldson, who is best known for her bestselling picturebook The Gruffalo, said "I am amazed and delighted that so many people from all over the world have taken the time to send in their paper dolls to us.

  "The sea of paper dolls was a breathtaking sight, and I so enjoyed seeing little pirates, school children, football teams, robots and so many more characters, all holding hands."


  The stunt was to mark the paperback publication of Donaldson's latest book, Paper Dolls, ilustrated by Rebecca Cobb. Macmillan Children's Books is donating 10p for each doll submitted to Save the Children.
