raggedy ann and andy books by johnny gruelle

Johnny Gruelle’s first collection of stories featuring Raggedy Ann was published in 1918. A brief biography of the author artist by his grandson, Kim Gruelle, makes this edition especially valuable. Johnny Gruelle’s delicate illustrations are the perfect companions to the well loved stories in this American classic, the only edition authorized by the Gruelle family.

Raggedy Ann also goes up in a kite, teaches two new dolls to be tolerant, and shares the excitement of a baby brother for Marcella, among several other tales.

When, in one adventure, Raggedy Ann has to have her stuffing replaced, she gets her famous ‘I LOVE YOU’ candy heart. She and the other dolls rescue Fido, the family dog, from the dogcatcher. After learning a lesson from a naughty raid on the pantry, Raggedy Ann’s adventures show her striving to be good and succeeding. All the original stories are here, as Raggedy Ann comes to Marcella’s nursery and quickly becomes the leader of the dolls. Now she returns to delight a new generation in this carefully produced reissue, which restores the book to its original appearance. Since Raggedy Ann first appeared in print in 1918, she has charmed millions of readers with her always warm and optimistic outlook and calm approach to difficulties.
