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. Now she returns to delight a new generation in this carefully produced reissue, which restores the book to its original appearance.
All the original stories are here, as Raggedy Ann comes to Marcella's nursery and quickly becomes the leader of the dolls. After learning a lesson from a naughty raid on the pantry, Raggedy Ann's adventures show her striving to be good -- and succeeding. She and the other dolls rescue Fido, the family dog, from the dogcatcher. When, in one adventure, Raggedy Ann has to have her stuffing replaced, she gets her famous "I LOVE YOU" candy heart. 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.
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. A brief biography of the author-artist by his grandson, Kim Gruelle, makes this edition especially valuable.

Editorial Reviews

About the Author

Johnny Gruelle was an extremely talented cartoonist, illustrator, and storyteller. He had already written and illustrated a book of original fairy tales before creating the Raggedy Ann and Andy stories. Raggedy Ann, heroine of the first book, was a favorite doll of his daughter, Marcella, who died after a long illness at the age of thirteen. Johnny Gruelle eventually created over forty Raggedy Ann and Andy books, all capturing his unique version of childhood.

Thrilled to find the original illustrations
I loved this book growing up - the edition I had was originally my grandmother's, from the 30's or very early 40's - and one of my favorite parts of the book were the illustrations. This Christmas, I wanted to get the same book to give my niece to go with the Raggedy Ann doll I was giving her, and was thrilled to find that the book was still available with the same illustrations that I grew up with. Even the picture on the cover is the same. While my niece is still a little young to really enjoy the story at 15 months old, my sister says she loves looking at the pictures in the book with her doll.

5.0 out of 5 stars a good gift to go with a Raggedy Ann doll
Reviewed in the United States on May 31, 2017

I love these stories, but I am 71 years old. There may not be enough action for today's children.
However, I made Raggedy Ann dolls for my grandchildren and gave them the books so they would know the doll's true personality. The rag dolls are great; their joints allow them to sit in little chairs at tea-parties. We've had great fun.
My oldest granddaughter chose the fabric for her Raggedy Ann's clothing, a lavender flowered dress and a pink apron with large ladybugs. I'm used to it now. She also chose a brown yarn for the hair and wanted it a bit longer than is normal. I liked that because the original Raggedy Ann did not have orange hair. If another granddaughter wants orange hair -- or green -- I will agree. And I'll get used to that too.

I wanted a more or less original version of Raggedy Ann to give my granddaughter along with a doll I made for her. The story is the same as the version my mother had, the one I grew up with, and it needed to describe Ann as the doll appears. This fits the bill!

5.0 out of 5 stars Collecter's item

When searching for a book from my childhood, I came across this book, which included Johnny Gruelle's complete story of Raggedy Ann and Andy and the Fuzzywump. (The book I was looking for was a collection of excerpts from his books). This book is beautifully illustrated by Mr. Gruelle's son, Worth. The colored and black and white illustrations are just gorgeous. Published originally in 1939, this edition is from 1961, and the book is of such a good quality that the pages are clean and white, the illustrations bright, and the cover is good, too. I just love looking through it. I am not a collector, but for those who are, this is a gem.

Ordered this for my granddaughter's 2nd birthday. I had this whole series when I was young and read them over and over. I was so happy when it came and was just as I remembered. The quality of the book seems very nice. Although she's still a bit young to sit for these stories yet, I intend to order the rest so we can enjoy them together in the coming years!
