{"product_id":"raggedy-andy-goes-sailing-johnny-gruelle-9781473320963","title":"Raggedy Andy Goes Sailing - Written and Illustrated by Johnny Gruelle","description":"'Raggedy Andy Goes Sailing' is written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. Gruelle (1880 - 1930), was an American artist and political cartoonist, as well as a children's book illustrator and author. This text forms part of 'The Raggedy Andy Stories', a sequel to original 'Raggedy Ann Series.' Raggedy Andy was actually Raggedy Anne's brother, who (unlike his sister who was always attired in a dress and pinafore), dressed in a smart sailor suit and hat. Gruelle initially created the books for his daughter, Marcella, when she brought him an old hand-made rag doll. He drew a face on it, and from his bookshelf, pulled a book of poems by James Whitcomb Riley, combining the names of two poems, 'The Raggedy Man' and 'Little Orphant Annie.' From this moment on, the much-loved children's series went from strength to strength. Sought after by collectors, this re-printed edition showcases Gruelle's original text, further enhanced by his wonderful colour drawings, in order that the two may be fully appreciated by young and old alike.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Johnny Gruelle\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1473320968\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781473320963\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pook Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 46\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.84lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 8.00w x 0.25d","brand":"Johnny Gruelle","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44123871052031,"sku":"9781473320963","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e1dae219-f670-4a56-80b1-26fa504ae1ee.jpg?v=1687433375","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/raggedy-andy-goes-sailing-johnny-gruelle-9781473320963","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
