In Hitty: Her First Hundred Years, a wooden doll carved in rural Maine travels around the world with a wide variety of owners and outfits. Rachel Field’s novel, illustrated by Dorothy Lathrop, won the Newbery Medal in 1930, and retains an enthusiastic fandom inside and outside Maine, some of whom share pictures of their own Hitty dolls. A 1999 adaptation for newer readers has gotten mixed reviews, but in 44 days anyone can share their own Hitty adventures as they like. #PublicDomainDayCountdown
