Before Hitty, there was Maria Poppet.,

This review is from: Memoirs Of A London Doll (Hardcover)
I always read Memoirs of a London Doll at the same time I read Hitty -- about once a year. The London Doll is a lovely, diminutive wooden lady named Maria Poppet, who has an interesting variety of adventures as she moves from one "little mother" to another. Her story begins around Christmas but she becomes more aware of her surroundings on Twelfth Night. Her "biography" continues through a full year, just past pantomime season the following Christmas. This is a well-written story which provides interesting insights into the lives of both wealthy and working children in the 1800's without the preaching that often accompanies this sort of tale. The introduction is worth reading as well.
