About the Author

Author, illustrator, and cartoonist Johnny Gruelle was born in Arcola, Illinois on December 24, 1880. Throughout his life, he worked as an illustrator and cartoonist for numerous newspapers and magazines including The New York Herald and McCall's. In 1914, he received his first book commission mostrar mais which was a set of illustrations for a volume of Grimms' fairy tales. He is best known for creating the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls and stories. It all started when he gave his daughter Marcella a dusty, faceless doll that was found in his mother's attic. He drew a face on it, named her Raggedy Ann, and created stories about her for Marcella. Eventually, he decided to recreate the doll and stories for other children and in 1915, he patented and trademarked the design of the doll. He published the first book and matching doll in 1918 with the P. F. Volland Company. Many more stories and the Raggedy Andy doll soon followed. He died on January 9, 1939.

It's a wonderful day in the deep, deep woods -- and full of surprises too! Join Raggedy Ann and Andy as they frolic with their woodland friends and use their magical wishing pebble to make everyone's dreams come true. The Raggedys grant one wish after another -- from a magical lollipop tree to ice-cream parties for one and all. They even help old Doctor Lewellen Stork make a very special delivery of four weeny, teeny baby chipmunks to the chipmunk family. But the excitement isn't over just yet. When Raggedy Ann and Andy stumble upon a fairy ring, they learn about the most precious wish of all.… (mais)

Raggedy Andy arrives in the mail at Marcella's father's office, displays his cheery smile, and is eagerly reunited with his sister, Raggedy Ann. After a warm welcome from the other dolls, Raggedy Andy adds to their fun with a dance, a pillow fight, and a taffy pull. His merry escapades frequently show his generosity in helping others, as he bravely ventures into the gutter to find the penny dolls, cures the French doll, and encourages the wooden horse. Other stories also include Raggedy Andy and the other dolls' encounters with the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and a beautiful seashell.

Johnny Gruelle's delicate illustrations are the perfect companion to the well-loved stories in this American classic.

This is one of the last Raggedy Ann books published while Johnny Gruelle was alive. The illustrations are charming, but the Depression has taken its toll as the paper quality is poor and the size of the book is much smaller. It appears to be an adaptation of a story Gruelle wrote for Woman's World in 1924. Whether it was a minor edit, a full rewrite or even a sequel is completely unknown to me.

That little mystery is more interesting than the plot of the book: Raggedy Ann and Andy hare off to the Deep Deep Woods and find a nice, ugly witch in distress. A magic charm has been stolen from her by a mean little man, also ugly, just when she was about to use it to help all those orphans who live in the woods. It's essentially the same plot as several previous books with fewer characters.

Still, for the collector, its a nice find.
