"Hitty is a doll of great charm and real character. It is indeed a privilege to be able to publish her memoirs which, besides being full of the most thrilling adventures on land and sea, also reveal a personality which is delightful and forceful. One glace at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. Hitty, or Mehitable, as she was really named, was caved from a piece of white ash by a peddler who was spending the winter in Maine. Phoebe,Preble, for whom Hitty was made, was very proud of her doll and took her everywhere, even on a long sailing trip in a whaler. In this way, Hitt's horizon was broadened and she acquired ample material to make her memoirs exciting and adventurous.
