One day a jovial understanding sailor gave her a clean Dutch doll whom she promised to ""love and love until she was alive"". Because of her warm heart her promise comes true and at last the little girl has a companion with whom she eventually goes off to the land of the Good People. This story should be loved for generations to come." Tregarthen was a pseudonym for Nellie Sloggett (1851-1923, Cornwall, UK), who was paralyzed at age 17 due to a spinal illness; much of her writing is based on Cornish legends and folklore. Note: some musty odor.
