The Raggedy Ann doll was first introduced as a book that was both, written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle in 1915. And for almost a century now, these dolls have been little girl’s best friends.

Raggedy Ann was born when Gruelle’s young daughter came home one day with a rag doll that Gruelle drew a face on and decided to call Ann. He then went on to write and draw about Raggedy Ann and later her brother, Raggedy Andy. Gruelle’s illustrations became so popular that the Raggedy Ann doll soon became a star.

Today, you can buy Raggedy Ann calendars, dolls, books, and almost about anything for your kids. One great site that we came across was raggedy-ann.com. Happy shopping!
