Raggedy Ann is a fictional character created by writer Johnny Gruelle (1880-1938) in a series of books he wrote and illustrated for young children. Raggedy Ann is a blue and white clad rag doll with red yarn for hair. The character was created in 1915 as a doll, and was introduced to the public in the 1918 book Raggedy Ann Stories. A doll was also marketed along with the book to great success. A sequel, Raggedy Andy Stories (1920) introduced the character of her old friend and playmate, Raggedy Andy, dressed in sailor suit and hat.

Many subsequent books were published and the characters made their way into other media, including:

The current copyright on the characters is owned by Simon & Schuster and Hasbro, Inc.

Raggedy Ann was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in 2002.
