Opis

Raggedy Anns Wishing Pebble is written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. Gruelle (1880 - 1930), was an American artist and political cartoonist, as well as a childrens book illustrator and author. 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. Gruelle created Raggedy Ann for his daughter, Marcella, when she brought him an old hand-made rag doll. 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 childrens series went from strength to strength. Sought after by collectors, this re-printed edition showcases Gruelles original text, further enhanced by his wonderful colour drawings, in order that the two may be fully appreciated by young and old alike.
