Raggedy Ann & Andy Collectors edition gift set Are Featured In A Window Book-style Gift Box...
Here is the Raggedy Ann & Andy Story: More than 90 years ago, cartoonist, illustrator, & storyteller Johnny Gruelle gave his daughter, Marcella, a gift~ a long forgotten rag doll that had been stored away for years in an attic. Johnny drew a new face on the rag doll and named her Raggedy Ann. Raggedy Ann & Andy are celebrating their 96th anniversary this year! Original 12", surface washable dolls. Combo box set is 30.48 cm in size.
Perpetually smiling and always ready to be hugged, Raggedy Ann quickly became Marcella's constant playmate. They shared countless adventures and quiet moments together. Johnny was amazed at the effect Raggedy Ann had on Marcella and was sure that she would appeal equally to other children.
Johnny sent a hand-drawn illustration of Raggedy Ann to the US Patent Office and was awarded, well what you can only be called a birth certificate, dated September 7th, 1915. A phenomenon was officially born. Today Raggedy Ann, and her brother, Raggedy Andy, are timeless classic characters that continue to spread Johnny's values of generosity, compassion, and love to generations of girls and boys around the world.
This story above is included on the back of the collector box! They are childhood favorites that we all loved. The dolls have thick mops of red yarn hair & black button eyes. They are full of smiles and will be an all time favorite for all.
Both dolls are 12" & are surface washable dolls. Combo box set is 30.48 cm in size. Raggedy Ann & Andy are celebrating their 96th anniversary this year!
