In her vibrant introduction, Maria recounts her early observations and interactions with the Sprat family, including her first moments of consciousness and her desires to be part of the bustling world outside. As her story progresses, we witness her transition from the Sprat's doll workshop to being sold in a shop, ultimately becoming the cherished toy of a girl named Ellen Plummy.
