Dollspel: A Raggedy Ann Collector's Collection of Inspirational Essays (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639037773)

Uniqueness. You are holding it in your hands. Open DOLLSPEL, this most unusual series of enrichment essays, to find a childhood favorite, the iconic Raggedy Ann (Andy, too), contributing ably to adult sensibilities. The moppet muse "comes alive" for the author in order to share her precepts and induce reflective thoughts on eight topics of substantive interest to grown-ups.

This simple-to-sublime literary route allows any-aged adult to see that things often go awry for us because we lose sight of the simplest attributes learned in our youth, especially kindness and goodness. Pronounced correctly, DOLLSPEL sounds like gospel, which is a huge clue as to the content. Raggedy softness, brightness and whimsey once made us feel good. Within these pages, Raggedy wisdom attempts to help us do good, making our world a more welcoming and more beautiful place, where we can all live together harmoniously.
