In the case of Raggedy Ann what came first -- the book or the doll?
Asked by Dianergr
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.
What year was raggedy ann invented?
Asked by Wiki User
They were created originally as cartoon characters in juvenile books, similar to the animal cartoon Uncle Wiggily in that respect. The dolls were made by Knickerbocker Toy company and were very popular. Originally only Ann ( I think they spell it without the E, unlike my Mother"s usage) Andy was written into the series later... in due time there were movie cartoons about the odd-looking but lovable pair. Two hearts as one may have been a slogan in the film cartoon. The artist who cooked up the whole thing was one Johnny Gruelle. the cartoonist got into this act after a near nervous paralysis following witnessing an extremely violent bank robbery or suicide. In his case the plunge into fantasy worked out. Yes, they came out in the teens, around l9l5 ( in cartoon form and books)- later movie cartoons.

How much is a 1918 raggedy ann stories book worth?
Asked by Wiki User
If the book is the 1918 edition then I have heard some people selling them for $300-$500. Personally I would put it on EBay and open a bid at about $350. Value of the book will also be affected greatly by the condition it is in. Is the cover soiled? Has the spine been replaced? Are the pages loose? Has the book been signed? You may wish to consider contacting a local bookseller or auction house for an accurate appraisal.
