In this facsimile reissue of one of the Raggedy Ann and Andy adventure stories, the dolls, with the help of a lucky penny, help a lost prince regain his throne. There are various quests and encounters with the likes of King Growch, Wanda-the-witch, and a creature called the Snarlyboodly. Gruelle's playful, magical world is ably evoked in his distinctive, cartoonlike color illustrations, scattered liberally throughout.
