Marcella: A Raggedy Ann Story

やはり可愛い。色々ラガティ揃えているので、新入り大切に飾り補完します。

My 9 and 5 year old daughters absolutely love this book. After listening to the story, they were inspired to take out their own dolls and engage in hours of imaginative play. The stories are about Marcella along with her dolls and toy animals. While their owners are out sight, the dolls stop pretending that they cannot move and talk, just like "real-for-sure" people. Each chapter is about an adventure that they have, like a day at the beach, or a tea party with Marcella. Johnny Gruelle was an incredibly talented man, his illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and his writing is lovely. Each chapter with gentle lessons about being loving and kind toward one another. The book was a tribute to his own daughter Marcella, who tragically died at the age of 13. Raggedy Ann was a beloved doll given to Marcella by her grandmother, the author's mother. The Raggedy stories were first written to entertain his daughter while she was ill and were later published. They are a true gift, magical, beautiful, and innocent, like the children they were written for. A rare treasure in today's society.

Marcella Raggedy Ann story, a beautiful book, a reprint of the original 1938 edition. There are detailed vintage illustrations on nearly every page.This particular version is a true hard cover book with a dust jacket which is exactly what I was looking for. It’s perfect for a special gift with a Raggedy Ann doll or just to have for yourself!

本の状態がとても良くて表紙が綺麗なのでインテリアにもなりそうです。

This was a gift to my 9-year old son from the tooth fairy. He was initially super bummed to get a book at all, especially a frilly-looking one. But once we started reading it he became obsessed with it and it was finished in no time. We just loved it. Please read the introduction!
