5.0 out of 5 stars Raggedy Ann, January 28, 2008

Bought for my granddaughter. This is reminiscent of my Raggedy Ann when I was a child, as well as the one my daughter had. Some dolls I saw in stores looked fake, but this is just like the original. Very pleased with it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Raggedy Ann--my favorite red-head!, January 16, 2008

Oh, my! What nostalgic memories this classic doll brings back ... of snowy Ohio days spent playing in my bed or on the floor with my very own Raggedy Ann ... while my brother tried to grab her and hide her from me. Those were the carefree days when kids enjoyed the simpler things in life, when we all thought we were invincible. Ah-hhhhhh ...

I enjoyed giving both Raggedy Ann and Andy to my kids when they were young, and relating the history of how they came to be classics ... through the books written about them. Reading the books to the kids was an enjoyable experience, too, as my Grannie Sue had read them to me ... once upon a time long ago. ... sigh ...

This doll is not only cute and lovable, she appears to be quite durable. However, I already see a few loose threads, so I suppose she won't endure like the one I had as a child--but what does in this day of rapid assembly-line production? Not saying this doll is assembled in that fashion, just that NOTHING receives the tender, loving care as it did in the "olden" days. That's progress for you!

The history of The Raggedies reads like a fairytale. Did you know that the doll was created by Alice Benton Gruelle and the name was inspired from two poems written by family friend James Whitcomb Riley ("The Raggedyman" and "Little Orphant Annie")? I was surprised to learn that the doll came before the books ... because it's usually the other way around. Alice Benton Gruelle's son Johnny not only painted the face on the first Raggedy, he wrote the books that followed.

How the books came to be published is another fascinating tale. For more details visit this website: http://www.raggedyman.com/ourstory.htm

Kids around the world love all the Raggedies; they've become 20th Century icons. It seems that no one can resist that bright red hair and those big button eyes! Can you?

4.0 out of 5 stars Granddaughter's Christmas present, January 12, 2008

I bought this for my granddaughter for Christmas. She is 2 and this is a very good doll to squeeze and sleep with. Raggedy Ann has the button eyes and is very cute. I don't think she is a durable doll, but she will last for the love she will receive.
