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.

Bless this board and bless this bread. Bless this skylight overhead through which any eye may see wheeling gull and blowing tree. One morning in Maine, three visitors travel to a small island. The day is clear and bright – its beauty a blessing. There are other blessings, too: a bright red fishing boat, berries and mussels to discover, the surprise of a wild bicycle ride. Best all is the joy of family coming together to share a special meal. Bold, color-saturated art perfectly captures the light and spirit of the Maine coast and brings to life this gentle prayer-like poem celebrating the simple pleasures of a summer day.
