Orphant Annie Story Book by Johnny Gruelle

Gruelle penned and illustrated this book and dedicated it to James Whitcomb Riley after the Hoosier poet’s death. Named after and beginning with Riley’s famous poem, “Little Orphant Annie,” the colorful book contains many charming tales of good-natured goblins, ponies that fly, and ladybugs that talk--all teaching lessons of courtesy, honesty, and kind behavior. Originally published by Bobbs-Merrill in 1921, this is Guild Press of Indiana’s third printing, faithfully reproduced with beautiful full-color illustrations throughout.
