SynopsisHitty 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.

Hitty, Her First Hundred Years
A fiction story for little girls ages from 10 years on up that has had a great affection for her doll, or dolls. Little girls love their dolls and they give them a personality all their own. Hitty is an intelligent little doll that hangs out with this little girl down through the years. A reader will forget it's a doll narrative because it is so well written. It tells of their years together, what all they did and whether or not Hitty was happy or sad over the events. The little girl grows up, now Hitty is left alone and ends up in an antique shop. Heartwarming with a sense of Hitty's values that will benefit every little girl that reads it.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great children’s novel
The best part of this new berry ward winning book is that there are Hitty Dolls available to go with it. It’ was American Girl before American girl! The one pictured below was made from a Gail Wilson Designs kit. What a great alternative to another video game or fashion doll.

Wonderful work from the 1920's giving the story of a doll from her beginning one hundred years earlier.
Sweet book written by a doll named Hitty. She is now in an Antiques store, and she writes her memoir since she was made (carved by a man) one hundred years earlier. She has several owners, and each adds to her life.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Hitty - Her First Hundred Years Never Gets Old !
Great story, very imaginative, I believe it was meant as a young reader book when published, but it holds up well for all ages. It's one of those books that if you didn't read it as a youngster, then you should read it as an adult. Or re-read it! A little doll's adventures, written from the doll's point of view, has valuable lessons and outlooks for all ages. And the illustrations are great.... highly recommend.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

HITTY, her first 100 years.
I am not a doll person but I adore HITTY and all her adventures, in this book she becomes a real person! I buy these books at reasonable prices and then share them with others. I also carve this little person and create her clothes with needle and thread, no machines. Joan Cousins ... Cousins OriginalsVerified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
