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
