Sobre este artículo
New York / Joliet / Boston: The P.F. Volland Company, 1926. Near fine in very good plus box.. First edition, first printing of the seventh book in the Raggedy Ann series, featuring a Paper Dragon inspired by Chinese New Year - in the original box. First acclaimed on the scene of the Sunday comics with "Mr. Twee Deedle," Gruelle launched into fame with his Raggedy Ann series. The books were based upon a rag doll he had designed with bright red hair, though Gruelle "always considered Raggedy Ann and Andy to be, first and foremost, storybook characters, whose personas had been born and refined on the printed page" (Hall 17). Mixing the down to earth with the witty, the Raggedy Ann and Andy series also blend charming images for children with a Jazz Age sensibility. PAPER DRAGON is "a parable about fathers who leave and are later reunited with their families." This is a remarkably nice copy. 9'' x 6''. Original color pictorial boards. In original color pictorial box. Pictorial endpapers. Illustrated by Gruelle in color throughout. Publisher's ads at rear. [96] pages. Only a few touches of rubbing and bumping to spine ends and corners. Box with light wear and toning. Joints firm. Bright.
