Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy are among the best loved and most long lived dolls still available today. Millions of people loved these soft and charming rag dolls as children, and seek them again as adults with nostalgic thoughts of less demanding times. The famous candy heart inside some Anns and "I LOVE YOU" heart on others endeared her to her owners.
The original Raggedy Ann dolls were created in 1918 by Johnny Gruelle in response to requests from readers of his very popular Raggedy Ann series of books about Ann, her friends, and her adventures. Gruelle and his family produced a few dolls to help sell the books, and later their design was licensed to various manufacturers so that the dolls are still popular today. The author includes updated prices to help guide collectors.
