Johnny Gruelle was an American artist, political cartoonist, children's book author and illustrator (and even songwriter). He is known as the creator of Raggedy Ann and Raggedy Andy. He had such confidence in his design that often he would create the final ink work without first sketching in pencil.
A wonderful story of fantasy and fun ... with some rather tame "villains" ... and the lesson that it doesn't pay to be mean to others, but kindness is its own reward. Great reading ...
Once again I enjoyed this story. The illustrations certainly make it a fabulous book of tales!
