Near the end of World War II, I received another doll from the Raggedy book series called Beloved Belindy.  I enjoyed reading the monthly magazines Children’s Playmate and Child Life, as well books about children from foreign lands.  There was a feeling of relief and celebration with the end of the war and my brother coming home.

At Christmas circa 1943 I received Raggedy Ann and Andy dolls  as well as books about their adventures. These were 19 in. cloth dolls and their clothes were held together in the back by small safety pins. These dolls were made at that time mainly by Georgene but there is no identification. Mine are in near mint condition.
