Hitty – Her First Hundred Years

Hitty – Her First Hundred Years by Rachel Field is a charming and imaginative story told from the perspective of a small wooden doll named Hitty. Carved from sturdy mountain ash, Hitty recounts her remarkable adventures over a century, journeying through different hands, countries, and eras. From the homes of seafarers to grand city mansions, Hitty’s tale is a delightful blend of historical fiction and whimsical storytelling. Winner of the 1930 Newbery Medal, this classic is a celebration of resilience, history, and the extraordinary tales that ordinary objects can tell.
