Hitty's life begins when she is carved from the magical wood of the Mountain Ash tree, in the early nineteenth century by Phineas Black, a peddler, for the daughter of the Preble family, Phoebe. Hitty travels with the Preble family, whose father is the captain of a whaling ship, from their coastal village to the South Seas, where they are waylaid by shipwreck. What follows for Hitty is a journey of one hundred years. Separated from the Preble family, Hitty returns to the United States where she finds herself a prop in a traveling circus act, later in the high society of the New York literary scene, then involved in the world of the theater when she is picked up as a lucky charm by an actress, and finally ending up in an antique shop. A fascinating tale of the progress that occurs over a hundred years through the eyes of a magical doll, \"Hitty, Her First Hundred Years\" remains a classic of children's literature.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.34 x 8.5 x 5.5 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e May 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuiz Name:\u003c\/strong\u003e Hitty: Her First Hundred Years\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e Middle Grades, 4-8\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 7.1\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n                \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/strong\u003e 11\u003c\/div\u003e\n                \n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53808839590195,"sku":"9781420982572","price":21.38,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/3wuCoCkirx9781420982572.webp?v=1786092755","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/products\/hitty-her-first-hundred-years-paperback-1","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
