Orphan Annie Storybook

Written in dedication to James Whitcomb Riley after the Hoosier poet's death, his most famous poem starts off this colorful book filled with charming tales of good-natured goblins, ponies that fly, and ladybugs that talk. Originally published in 1921, this reissue, faithfully reproduced with beautiful full-color illustrations, teaches young readers lessons of courtesy, honesty, and kind behavior.

About the author

Johnny Gruelle was an American artist, political cartoonist, children's book author and illustrator (and even songwriter). He is known as the creator of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. He had such confidence in his design that often he would create the final ink work without first sketching in pencil.

Lovely child's story that adults will enjoy too. Whimsical pictures add a great touch.
My copy is a hardback book and autographed by Kim Gruelle as a special present from my grandparents back in 1991
