And there, the legend goes, a little girl named Marcella found her one wet and rainy day.......... .......SCROLL DOWN AND LEARN MORE ABOUT her!!!.....the sweet little red-headed rag doll that first "inspired" my MY LOVE OF RAGGEDIES and the reproduction of the many wonderful Raggedy character Dolls that I enjoy creating today !!....WHY NOT COLLECT THEM ALL??? For More Information....e-Mail "Gayle" "Click Here!"

She began as a family rag doll; an old toy,
faded and worn, tossed into an attic. And there, the legend goes,
a little girl named Marcella found her one wet and rainy day..........

TO READ MORE ....VISIT MY
" RAGGEDY HISTORY "
and my
" RAGGEDY ANN & ANDY " PAGE.

Gruelle claimed that two of his favorite poems by
James Whitcomb Riley
("The Raggedy Man" and "Little Orphant Annie")
had inspired the name for his 1915 patent design for Raggedy Ann.
The earliest Raggedy Ann dolls "documented" were offered by the
P.F. Volland Co.
(None of Gruelle's original patented dolls were documented)
The introduction of the "Cottage" Raggedy Ann
( modeled after Gruelle's book illustrations)
was timed to coinside with the fall 1918 publication of Raggedy Ann Stories.
They were intended to be sold as related merchandise
along with Gruelle's new book.
