Hitty is a doll of great charm and real character who was made in the 1800's for a little girl named Phoebe Preble. One glance at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. She was carved from a piece of white ash by a peddler who was spending the winter in Maine. This classic book is the memoirs of this delightful doll. In them we are told the exciting story of Hitty's years with Phoebe, and their thrilling adventures together on land and sea.
In 1930, Hitty was awarded the John Newbery Medal as "the most distinguished contribution to American Literature for Children" in that season. Since then her fame has spread far and wide.
This edition includes 20 charming black and white illustrations by Dorothy P. Lathrop.
