AN UNFORGETTABLE American classic, RAGGEDY ANN STORIES is one of the most beautiful and lovingly created illustrated books in the history of children’s literature. Handmade, written and illustrated for Johnny Gruelle’s daughter Marcella, this book is a living memorial of a father’s love and a daughter’s joy. Marcella passed away when she was only thirteen, but the clever and charming stories her father wrote for her live on.
This Wonderland Imprints Illustrated Treasury Edition of RAGGEDY ANN STORIES contains all of Mr. Gruelle’s original illustrations, in full color (for those reading on a color device or on a computer). An active table of contents has been added, punctuation has been modernized, and a unique tribute essay to Marcella is featured as well. The stories themselves are innocent glimpses of a girl’s wonderland, where tea parties and kittens and fairies all intermix, and where—but only when the children are asleep—dolls come to life and go adventuring in their own magical world. Timeless and heartfelt, RAGGEDY ANN STORIES is one of the great works of children’s literature. This edition is published as one of a pair collection alongside RAGGEDY ANDY STORIES, also available now. From the creator of the bestselling COMPLETE ALICE IN WONDERLAND and THE ILLUSTRATED PETER PAN.
Twelve bedtime stories, all beautifully illustrated, are included in this volume. Share them, and enjoy!
(Contains the classic book in full, preface, introduction, essay, and the twelve original stories. 17,000 words, 68 illustrations, customized chapter headers, 120 pages.)
