Raggedy Ann is the number one rag doll in the US and it is her 95th birthday. This doll is 12 inches tall and comes in a collectors window box. She also includes a commemorative certificate. Her heart is embroidered on her body, and bears the inscription “I Love You.” The doll is surface washable, in case she is very loved by a little girl.
The Raggedy Ann doll was based on a fictional character created by Johnny Gruelle. He wrote and illustrated a series of books based on a rag doll that his daughter had. He drew eyes on her and then created her personality and back-story. The books were based on the Raggedy Ann character and were developed for young children. The stories teach decency, kindness, manners, etc., things which are sorely lacking in today’s society.
A doll was successfully marketed along with the book. Then there was a sequel, “Raggedy Andy Stories” in which we were introduced to the character of her brother, Raggedy Andy, who is dressed in sailor suit and hat. To date there have been over 40 Raggedy Ann books published.
There have been a 
series of animated shorts and comic books starring Raggedy Ann. She has also appeared in episodes of Family Guy and South Park. Raggedy Ann is part of our collective consciousness. She remains a popular Halloween costume, there are sewing patterns you can buy to make your own Raggedy Ann doll, she is even the mascot for some sororities. But most importantly Raggedy Ann dolls have been delighting children for almost one hundred years.
If you are looking for a doll to buy that special girl in your life, a special doll who can charm your daughter or your niece, or even your girlfriend; and put a smile on her face, then you will want to buy the Raggedy Ann 95th Anniversary Edition Doll
