The book was awarded the Newbery Medal in 1930. It is narrated from the perspective of Hitty (short for Mehitabel), a hand-carved wooden doll made from mountain ash in the early 1820s. The story begins in Maine when Hitty is created by an ?Old Peddler? for a young girl named Phoebe Preble. Carved from a piece of mountain ash brought from Ireland, Hitty is small but treasured. When Phoebe?s father, Captain Preble, is away at sea on his whaling ship, the Peddler stays to help the family through harsh winter conditions.
