The Honest-to-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy
$15.95
Raggedy Andy was created by
Johnny Gruelle for his sons, Worth and Dick. Gruelle biographer
Patricia Hall and artist/illustrator Joni Gruelle Wannamaker combine
their research and artistry to tell this historically inspired story
especially for youngsters. Based on documents and family accounts,
The Honest-to-Goodness Story of Raggedy Andy is Patty and Joni's
second Raggedy collaboration. |

Though he had a hunch, Johnny
Gruelle didn't know what to expect or whether the buying public would
really take to hand-crafted rag dolls. As it turned out, however,
Raggedy Ann, her brother, Raggedy Andy, and the countless books,
songs, and even films featuring them were the perfect diversions for a
public weary from World War I. They continue to be a source of joy for
young people, collectors, and fans worldwide.
