Illustrated by
Jan Palmer.
Five previously published adaptations of Gruelle's Raggedy Ann stories, including "How Raggedy Ann Got Her Candy Heart" and "Raggedy Ann's Wishing Pebble," are collected here in one volume. Pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations of old-fashioned scenes accompany the texts, and they match the stories' dated feel without being overly cloying. This treasury may have sentimental appeal for nostalgic adults.
