Raggedy Ann Stories and Raggedy Andy Stories
關於本有聲書
The dolls in these stories act and talk just like real people—that is, when their mistress, young Marcella, or other adults are not there to see them.
Raggedy Ann has charmed millions with her warm and optimistic outlook and unflappable approach to difficulties, while Raggedy Andy has pleased these fans with his adventurous spirit and compassionate nature. As Gruelle’s granddaughter said, “These stories contain nothing to cause fright, glorify mischief, excuse malice, or condone cruelty.” All the original twenty-three stories from Johnny Gruelle’s two books are included here, and all are guaranteed to delight and inspire.

關於作者
Johnny Gruelle (1880–1938), the much-loved creator of the brother and sister rag dolls Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy, started his career as a newspaper cartoonist. By beating out fifteen hundred entrants in a comic-drawing contest sponsored by the New York Herald, he earned a $2,000 prize and an extended contract to provide a weekly installment of his cartoon Mr. Twee Deedle. In addition to designing the Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls, he soon began writing and illustrating make-believe tales and adventure stories for children.
