The dolls are reunited in this place of honor-where they belong, together of course, for always. Her brother Raggedy Andy joined her in 2007. Raggedy Ann entered the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2002. The books and dolls have remained popular for the past century. Gruelle averaged one new book each year for twenty years.

In them, when humans weren’t looking, Raggedy Ann and Andy came to life and embarked on many adventures. In 1920, Gruelle introduced the Raggedy Andy Stories. Volland arranged to sell Raggedy Ann dolls along with the books, and the tie-in between Gruelle’s Raggedy Ann Stories and the dolls proved a marketing hit. Gruelle, a cartoonist and illustrator, wrote a children’s book about Raggedy Ann in 1918.

He drew a face on the worn fabric and called the doll Raggedy Ann. One day in 1915, as the story goes, Johnny Gruelle’s daughter Marcella brought him an old rag doll.
