Raggedy Ann is a fictional character created in the early 20th century - 1915 - by Johnny Gruelle. Raggedy Ann is a blue and white clad rag doll with red yarn for hair. In 1920, her playmate Raggedy Andy hit the bazaar. The artist was a political cartoonist, and above all a family man. He gave his young daughter a gift found in an attic.

The gift was a rag doll, dusty, faceless and long-forgotten. He drew a new face on the doll and named her Raggedy Ann. Raggedy Ann, soft, floppy and wearing a perpetual smile, quickly became Johnny's daughter Marcella's constant playmate. Johnny was amazed at the effect such a simple doll had on Marcella and believed that it would only be natural for other little girls to have the same reaction.
