Whether
you're a beginning or advanced collector, a
nostalgia buff, or simply moved by Raggedy Ann
and Andy smiles, you'll love this book Wonderful
Raggedy Anns by Joyce Gerardi Rinehart.
It is a peek into private collections from across
the country, with dozens of collectors sharing
their special "babies." More than 700 color
photographs depict previously unpublished dolls
and related items. For the first time, creative
"concept Raggedys" - those outfitted in ethnic
or occupational garb-are covered in depth, and
Raggedys dressed for the holidays also make
their appearance. Volland, Georgene, Knickerbocker,
and Applause collectors will welcome the sections
provided to help them date their dolls. These
smiling Raggedy Ann faces will entice you to
read, reread, and refer to this volume again
and again. The dozens of Raggedy Ann and Andy
dolls, books, and collectibles pictured here
will have you heading out on a Raggedy search,
want list in hand. Author Joyce Gerardi Rinehart,
a longtime doll collector and ex-antique dealer,
resides in Florida and continues to add to her
collection.
