Rachel Field (1894–1942)

I’m not sure this needs a review.

This book is charming, the soft and nurturing warmth of family and God shine from this book in a way relatable to small children.

This particular edition is larger and a better choice for reading aloud and sharing the illustrations.

Very interesting to read children's historical fiction written a century ago; some passages would not be considered acceptable today, but it has may salient qualities as a piece of history.

Lovely first book of prayer.

This an interesting enough read, as Hitty keeps having decent ventures during her these hundred years. But… this doll is kind of a brat. She whines and complains pretty consistently. After a few hundred pages I really wasn’t pulling for her. By far I thought the most likable character was Hitty's first owner (Phoebe) and I would have preferred the story stay on Phoebe's side when they parted. While it's an okay tale, by the end of the book I just didn’t care all that much.
