Indeed it is slippery, Raggedy Ann replied. Raggedy Andy started to walk over to look at one of the icicles, but his feet flew out from under him and he sat down with a bump.Īs Raggedy Ann helped him to his feet, Raggedy Andy laughed. The two rag dolls stood in a large cavern and all about, as glistening as moonbeams, were shiny things just like icicles. Raggedy Andy scratched his yarn covered rag head and looked all about him. But where is the bottom and where are we now? I guess we are at the bottom, Raggedy Andy replied, as he stood up and helped Raggedy Ann to her feet.ĭear me, yes, I know that, Raggedy Andy, Raggedy Ann laughed. That was just what Raggedy Ann wished to know. And, of course, being made of cloth and stuffed with nice clean, soft, white cotton, the Raggedys were not hurt even a teeny-weeny bit when they finally lit with soft blumps upon the bottom. One can see very well with shoe button eyes if one is a rag doll stuffed with nice, clean, white cotton.

We publish rare and vintage Golden Age illustrated books, in high-quality colour editions, so that the masterful artwork and story-telling can continue to delight once again. Pook Press celebrates the great ‘Golden Age of Illustration‘ in children’s classics and fairy tales – a period of unparalleled excellence in book illustration. Sought after by collectors, this re-printed edition showcases Gruelle's original text, further enhanced by his wonderful colour drawings, in order that the two may be fully appreciated by young and old alike. He drew a face on it, and from his bookshelf, pulled a book of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, combining the names of two poems, 'The Raggedy Man' and 'Little Orphant Annie.' From this moment on, the much-loved children's series went from strength to strength. Gruelle created Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella, when she brought him an old hand-made rag doll. The books of 'The Raggedy Ann Series' all feature their central protagonist, with red yarn for hair and a triangle nose - charting her considerable adventures. Raggedy Ann tales, written and drawn by Johnny Gruelle, have been entertaining children since 1918.
