1930년 뉴베리상 수상작

일곱 살 소녀를 위해 만들어진 마가목 인형 히티의 백 년 모험을 그린 동화책이다. 첫 번째 주인과 헤어진 후 무인도에서 헤매고 코브라와 공연도 하며 우아한 패션 모델과 초라한 바늘방석 신세를 거쳐, 이제는 골동품 가게의 한 귀퉁이에 자리를 잡았지만 히티는 또 다시 찾아올 새로운 모험을 꿈꾼다.

 Hitty is a doll of great charm and character. It is indeed a privilege to publish her memoirs, which, besides being full of the most thrilling adventures on land and sea, also reveal her delightful personality. One glance at her portrait will show that she is no ordinary doll. Hitty, or Mehitable as she was really named, was made in the early 1800s for Phoebe Preble, a little girl from Maine. Young Phoebe was very proud of her beautiful doll and took her everywhere, even on a long sailing trip in a whaler. This is the story of Hitty's years with Phoebe, and the many that follow in the life of a well-loved doll.
