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. ( ) 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. We read a lot of old literature in my house but my daughter and I never even finished this one. Neither of us connected with the main character and her whirlwind rush through history was hard to follow. I think you need a good grounding in the historical time period before reading the book. As a historian, i still found it flat. Cute! 1929 and it shows its age - Hitty has a firm sense of modesty, and of her appearance, and Opinions on people and especially their clothes. Still, it's enjoyable, if highly unlikely - I don't know how lucky she was for the people she was with, but she certainly had an unreasonable lot of luck in being found and returned to her people several times, or moving on to new homes. Much better than Miss Hickory, with a similar flavor. Glad I read it, though I doubt I'll bother to re-read. aucune critique | ajouter une critique

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. Aucune description trouvée dans une bibliothèque |
