In the case of Raggedy Ann, it was the doll by about three years. Illustrator and writer Johnny Gruelle rescued an old, dusty rag doll from the attic to give to his young daughter. Since it had no face, Gruelle painted one. They decided to name the doll Raggedy Ann, combining the names of two poems by James Whitcomb Riley, "The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphan Annie." On September 17, 1915, Gruelle received a patent on the rag doll and in 1918 the first in a series of Raggedy Ann books was published. Raggedy Andy came along two years later.
