A most wonderful, delightful book for children of all ages! Hitty is a carved wooden small 6" doll. It tells of her life through one hundred yers and various owners and their families. Hitty has been brought back to life lately and there is a big following of Hitty collectors all over the world. They are hand carved dolls and the costs vary from $30 to $3,000 plus! Women all over have collections and make clothes, houses, etc. You can find a hitty on the internet by googling for her. I love this book and have 3 of the Hitty dolls. Your daughter would love this book and so would you.
