Written by the “Puppet Lady” of San Diego, Marie Hitchcock, the book started as a puppet show she created. Several years later Marie turned the story into a book for children of all ages. The Gaslamp Quarter Historical Foundation is proud to share this story with a new generation of children and history aficionados. Marie Hitchcock was passionate about San Diego history and was instrumental in the creation of a statue to honor Bum the Town Dog.
