Raggedy Andy Stories
by Johnny Gruelle
Raggedy Andy arrives in the mail at Marcella's father's office, shows off his cheerful smile, and is eagerly reunited with his sister, Raggedy Ann. After a warm welcome from the other babies, Raggedy Andy adds fun to them with dancing, pillow fighting, and tambourine pushing. Their hilarious escapades often show their generosity in helping others, because they bravely go into a groove to find penny dolls, "heal" a French baby, and encourage a wooden horse. One of the most beautiful and lovingly created picture books in the history of unforgettable American classics and children's literature. Written and illustrated for Johnny Gruel Marcella's daughter, this handmade book is a living monument to the love of the father and the joy of his daughter. Marcella died when she was only thirteen years old, but the clever and magical stories her father wrote for her continue to live.
