About This Book
Miss Hickory, a country doll made from an apple-wood twig, is left behind when her owner goes to Boston. She is helped through the long winter by several farm and forest animals. Prickly and a little stubborn, she slowly learns to accept help from others, and to offer some assistance herself. Newbery Award winner. Illustrated by Ruth Chrisman Gannett (illustrator of My Father's Dragon).
