Welcome to Hittys Place

This site is devoted to promoting all things "Hitty" without outside advertising and at no charge to those who play in the Hitty world. Hitty story blogs and webpages can be hosted here for free in their own sub domains. Those who create Hitty products; dolls, clothes, furniture, etc. are welcome to show them here so other "Hitty" people will know where to acquire these things.

Dolls are free to live in the world as we would want it to be. Our inner children frolic on the playgrounds of their minds and tell their stories unfettered. They add a sense of whimsy to our otherwise ordered lives.

Who is Hitty?

Photo of the original Hitty doll purchased by Rachel Field and Dorothy Lathrop in 1927. Because the doll was very old at the time of their purchase, they wondered about the life she may have led. Their book, "Hitty, Her First Hundred Years" won a Newberry Award in 1929 and is still widely read today. The doll, along with her clothes and furniture, is displayed in the Stockbridge Library Museum in Massachusetts.

The book is available at Amazon.com
