"Hitty" belonged to author Rachel Field. It was this small,antique wooden doll that was the inspiration for her book, "Hitty Her First Hundred Years".Published in 1929, it won the Newbery Award in 1930.
	Rachel Field's best friend and artist Dorothy Lathrop actually shared ownership of the original "Hitty" and it was Dorothy who illustrated the book for Rachel. The original wooden doll today resides in the Stockbridge, Mass. Library Museum. Hobbyist like myself enjoy collecting various similarly carved artist dolls. **All photos in the albums below are copyright protected**
