14” wooden body Edition of 50 The book, Caddie Woodlawn, the story of a girl growing up in the wilderness of Wisconsin, is now celebrating its 75th anniversary.

The author, Carol Ryrie Brink was a favorite of Wendy’s from childhood when she discovered Baby Island. Caddie with the golden red hair wears her cotton dress and sunbonnet—always too tight for the adventures she found.

Caddie is wonderfully moveable with her spring-jointed wooden body.

She would have liked that.
