AbstractHistoryArchive Description

'Portrays the innocent misdemeanors of Molly and her doll through an amusing, anecdotal story of the gradual destruction through "adventures" of the much-loved Woodeny. Woodeny survives a series of potential usurpers in her young owner's affections to the point where she is sans arms, legs, hair—even face' (Oxford Companion to Australian Children's Fiction 214).
