Excerpt from Dotty Dimple's Flyaway: "Flyaway could remember as far back as the beginning of the world, - that is to say, she could remember when her world began. It is strange to think of, but the first thing she really knew for a certainty, she was standing in a yellow chair, in her grandmother Parlin's kitchen! It was as if she had always been asleep till that minute. People did say she had once been a baby, but she could not recollect that, it was so many years ago..."
