How many of us read "Hitty: Her First Hundred Years" when we were children?  And how many wanted a doll like Hitty for our own?  Lately, the interest in and presentation of so many Hitty-type dolls has made it possible for many of us to realize the dream of owning a doll like Hitty.  Susan Sirkis has created a doll like Hitty. The doll was cast in resin to resemble wood by California artist Tom Banwell and individually painted by Tom and Susan.  Measuring seven and a half inches tall, her nicely proportioned body is perfect to sew for.  Some simple assembly is required.  Patterns and instructions for a basic set of clothing are included.
