When Marcella finds an old rag doll with yarn hair, shoe button eyes, a painted nose, and a smiling mouth in Grandma's attic, she instantly falls in love. When Grandma places Raggedy Ann in Marcella's care, Raggedy Ann soon finds herself at home with the other dolls in the nursery.
This 80th Anniversary edition of Raggedy Ann features all the original stories complied into one, compact storybook. The storyline is beautifully accompanied by vintage-looking pictures to illustrate the story. Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, and the rest of their doll friends are full of mischief, love, and adventure.

This book is full of those interactions between the dolls, unbeknownst to man.
