Abandoned Doll On A Hillside Trampled By Cows, Old Book Required For Grieving Sister In Law

This is a long shot & will most likely need the help of the female of the species (so guys please prod your mothers, sisters & other halfs).

THO`s gran died late last night & she & her sister were on the phone until 03.30 to each other, her younger sister desperately wants a copy of a childrens (girls) book about an abandoned doll on a hillside, that is trampled by the cows in the field, it was her favorite story that she always asked her gran used to read to her when she went to visit.

I would guess that the book dates from the early 70`s but may be much older.

She did find a copy in a bookshop 20 years ago, but being extremely short of money at that time, she couldn`t afford to buy it, didn`t contemplate reserving it or taking note of the name of the book or the author.

THO would love to find the book for her if she possibly could.




I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

Heartily glad that I don`t have to learn how to spell Chiwetel Ejiofor.
