Unlike many of Gruelle's Raggedy Ann tales, which were based on his newspaper serials, this book was written as a tribute to his late daughter, Marcella, and is one of the most popular Raggedy Ann books among collectors today.
In this charming book, Raggedy Ann and Andy and their friends embark on a series of adventures when their mistress, Marcella, takes them with her to the seashore. Readers will laugh at the antics of the puppy, Rags, and delight at the dolls' magical encounter with fairies.
