Marcella: A Raggedy Ann Story

1929, P. S. Volland
(4) 1-3 Gruelle wrote this story in memory of his daughter Marcella, who died young. Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, and friends romp on the beach, get lost on a sailboat, and have other adventures while Marcella is sleeping or isn't around. The old-fashioned charm and sentimentality of the text and illustrations may no longer appeal to a wide readership, but children certain that toys lead lives of their own will welcome this book.
