Johnston perpetuated the myth that the daughter of Johnny Gruelle found an old rag doll in her grandmother's attic and Johnny painted a face on it and named it Raggedy Ann. In her 1993 book "Johnny Gruelle, Creator of Raggedy Ann and Andy," biographer Patricia Hall debunked the story. She spoke with Johnny's sister Myrtle, who explained that Johnny found the doll in the attic of their parents' home. (The mother had made the doll for Myrtle.) Johnny then decided to write some children's stories about a rag doll named Raggedy Ann. His daughter had not yet been born.

Johnston could have used a fact checker. He wrote that Walter Lantz was born in 1900 (Page 101). Lantz was born April 27, 1899. Johnston gave the name of Lantz's cartoon penguin Chilly Willy as "Chilly Willie." He said Lantz "has not produced a new Woody Woodpecker cartoon since 1975." Lantz shut down his studio in 1972.Stevenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20219340.post-354740015895268492018-01-13T17:43:45.460-08:002018-01-13T17:43:45.460-08:00Yes, me again.

And on page 72, Dean's Rag Book Company is shown as Dean's Rag Rook Company.
