Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

Hitty is a doll of great charm and character. It is indeed a privilege to publish her memoirs, which, besides being full of the most thrilling adventures on land and sea, also reveal her delightful personality. One glance at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. Hitty, or Mehitable as she was really named, was made in the early 1800s for Phoebe Preble, a little girl from Maine. Young Phoebe was very proud of her beautiful doll and took her everywhere, even on a long sailing trip in a whaler. This is the story of Hitty's years with Phoebe, and the many that follow in the life of a well-loved doll.

Synopsis:

A favorite since it was first published in 1929, this Newbery Medal winner is a timeless classic about a very special doll of great charm and character.

I re-read this book last year at age 52 while I was sick with the flu. I found myself taking a breath and saying "Oh ,No", when Hittys safety seemed at risk. And worried , would she ever make it back to her loved ones. I couldn't put it down. I love this book now, as much as I did when I first read it at the age of 12.
Thank you Rachel Field.
