Hitty, Her First Hundred Years

"the memoirs of a sentient (though immobile) Doll ... Hitty is a singular example of a doll who does not want to be human and her story provides interesting commentary on the joys and liabilities of Immortality." (underscore represents linked cross-reference) --Encyclopedia of Fantasy Hitty's immobility is crucial to the plot recurrently but it is not strict. Initially she takes up the pen to write her memoirs on paper. When dropped under a church pew, she raises and lowers her legs to "thump" for attention.
