Johnny Gruelle worked all his life as an artist and writer. His whimsical drawings and astute observations inspired a number of other artists and cartoonists, including Theodore Giesel (Dr. Seuss) and Mary Engelbright. His early career as a newspaper cartoonist blossomed with his resplendent "Mr. Twee Deedle" Sunday comic page, and eventually grew to encompass magazine illustrating, storybook writing and illustrating, and even songwriting.
The myriad publications and published works of Johnny Gruelle have been exhaustively researched and extensively cataloged in Raggedy Ann and Johnny Gruelle: A Bibliography. This companion volume to Johnny Gruelle, Creator of Raggedy Ann and Andy and Raggedy Ann and More: Johnny Gruelle's Dolls and Merchandise) is more than just a bibliography--it is also a photographic history of one of this country's most prolific contributors to American popular culture.
