Publisher Description
Johnny Gruelle was an American a man of talent who was not only a children's books writer but also an artist, illustrator and songwriter. The story of his most famous book - Raggedy Ann Stories - is the most unusual one as Ann was an old faceless doll that was found by the author’s daughter in the attic. He created her face, brought her up to life and then decided to share her story with all children of the world. "Why don't we call her Raggedy Ann?" he said. Little Annie is a doll with red hair made from yarn and a funny triangle nose. She was found by young Marcella who took care of her and, thanks to her kind nature, Annie had become a leader of other little dolls. This book tells us about wonderful adventures of brave Ann with her new friends, about her acquaintance with Marcella’s baby brother and many other stories. Read it and find out what amazing adventures are waiting for brave Annie and what miraculous gift will she receive.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
If these dolls could talk... well, they can (sort of), on the reissued Raggedy Ann Stories by Johnny Gruelle, read by Cicely Tyson. Spunky Raggedy Ann takes charge of all the dolls in young Marcella's nursery and creates a series of adventures that include venturing to the pantry for a snack, rescuing Fido, the family dog, from the dogcatcher, and surviving a trip through the boiling-water washer-and a good scrubbing on the washboard.
