Johnny Gruelle’s Raggedy Ann & Andy stories have warmed our hearts for decades. Nearly 95 years ago Gruelle began writing stories about Raggedy Ann as a way to entertain his ailing daughter; those stories were later published in memoriam and went on to become an American classic. The adventures of Raggedy Ann & Andy have been shared for generations and continue to delight people of all ages.
