Hitty, her first hundred years

Hitty, a doll of real character carved from a block of mountain ash, writes the story of her eventful life from the security of an antique-shop window which she shares with Theobold, a rather overbearing cat. Her career, begun in a quiet Maine village, is crowded with adventures, and she gives lively doll's-eye glimpses of the widely differing places and people that she encounters during her hundred years, and of the manners and modes of her times.
