Rachel Field's Hitty: Her First Hundred Years

106 pp. | Simon | October, 1999 | Trade ISBN 0-689-81716-9 $$21.95
1929, Macmillan
(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Susan Jeffers. In this edition of the well-loved and award-winning novel, the art both decorates and extends the text. But as Wells trims Field's prose and adds plot and character to make the story more active, Hitty loses her distinctive voice and her place as the story's primary subject. Better that readers return to the pleasures of Field's original Hitty.
