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 companion to the well-loved stories in this American classic, the only edition authorized by the Gruelle family. Other stories also include Raggedy Andy and the other dolls' encounters with the Easter bunny, Santa Claus, and a beautiful seashell. 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. After a warm welcome from the other dolls, Raggedy Andy adds to their fun with a dance, a pillow fight, and a taffy pull. Now he returns to captivate a new generation in this carefully produced reissue, which restores the book to its original appearance.Īll the original stories are here, as 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. But she’s still got her candy center, and does it all out of love, despite her creeping insecurities on her ability to protect those closest to her.Since Raggedy Andy first appeared in print in 1920, he has delighted millions of readers with his adventurous spirit and compassionate nature. She’s not afraid to put evil doers, or her little brother, in their place. Musical Ann is incredibly protective of her friends and her Marcella, and not afraid to hurt anyone who threatens them. Raggedy Ann in the Raggedy Ann/Rag Dolly musical is much more spunky and street-smart than her counterparts. This is very similar to how she acts in the Chuck Jones shorts, The Pumpkin Who Couldn't Smile and The Great Santa Claus Caper.

Even still, she loves everyone and everything unconditionally and has nothing but good intentions for everything she does. She is rather naive, however, and doesn't quite pick up on social cues, which can unintentionally put herself and others in danger. Despite her childlike curiosity for the outside world, she remains humble and eternally grateful for the life she currently has. She cares immensely for her friends, particularly her brother Raggedy Andy, and is willing to risk her own wellbeing to keep them safe.
In the 1977 film, Raggedy Ann & Andy: A Musical Adventure,Raggedy Ann is portrayed as compassionate, good-natured, and highly empathetic. Raggedy Ann is a very heart warming and loving doll who cares for herself, Andy, and the other toys.
