The Picnic was adapted for Henny's card in the Raggedy Ann and Friends Cardbook set.
During the trip, the jostling of the truck knocks Belindy out from between the mirrors, and she falls into a crack where she’s lost for two weeks until the moving men finally find her. The moving men take Raggedy Ann, Raggedy Andy, and Beloved Belindy to use as cushions between two mirrors in the truck. Moving Day: Marcella’s family is moving to a house on the seashore, and she gets all the dolls ready to go. He’s forgotten when the toys get moved into the car, so the raggedy animals sneak out during the night to grab him so he gets to come to the picnic as well. Henny says that the stuffed animals shouldn’t get to go, since they’re not dolls, then goes to sulk behind the toy box.
The Picnic: Ann tells the dolls that Marcella plans on taking all her dolls and stuffed animals with her on a picnic in the countryside. There they make cookies and other treats out of mud, and have a nice pretend dinner.
The Train Ride: Marcella plays make-believe with her dolls, taking them on a metal wagon train ride through the garden to “grandmother’s house”, her playhouse made from an old dry-goods box. Either way I will refund any shipping overage.Marcella: A Raggedy Ann Story is a 1929 novel written and illustrated by Johnny Gruelle. I have put shipping as a small flat rate package. The book measures 9 x 6 inches and is 94 pages long. This is an original book, published in 1929. The Raggedy stories were first written to entertain his daughter while she was ill and were later published. Raggedy Ann was a beloved doll given to Marcella by her grandmother, the authors mother. The text is perfectly readable and usable the pages have a bit of age-related yellowing but no other flaws. The book was a tribute to his own daughter Marcella, who tragically died at the age of 13. Some pages are loose but none are falling out. There is heavy wear on the cover (and damage to the spine) and the inside of the book. Whimsical illustrations capture the joy and simplicity of Raggedy Ann's world, transporting you to a magical place you will want to visit again and again. This very special story collection, a tribute to Johnny Gruelle's daughter, Marcella. In the end it is the dolls' love for one another - and Marcella's devotion to her dear friends - that is the true magic in this book. Raggedy Ann leads her friends through each exciting adventure with a dose of humor and kindness. They also make friends with a new doll named Squeakie, and a mischievous puppy, Rags, and get lost at sea on a sailboat. Nighttime is when the dolls come to life, so once Marcella is tucked in bed, Raggedy Ann and the rest of the dolls embark on a series of adventures, including a magical encounter with fairies. It's summertime, and Marcella packs up her beloved dolls, Raggedy Ann and Andy and all their friends, for a trip to the seashore. "Raggedy Ann, Beloved Belindy, Uncle Clem and Raggedy Andy sat very, very quiet, their cotton-stuffed bodies tingling as happily as Johnny Cricket's cheery tune, for they had looked through the door into Fairyland."
