Little Orphant Annie's come to our house to stay . . .
It was a cold, rainy day in November 1861 when an orphan girl named Mary Alice Smith arrived on the Riley family's doorstep. Mrs. Riley took her in as a guest, but Mary Alice worked for her board and keep. Allie worked with all her heart-and imagination, too. She began telling the Riley children fantastical tales of fairies and goblins. Her witch-tales kept them close, listening to her every word.
Young James Riley would one day become a famous poet. And in 1885, James Whitcomb Riley published a poem about his memories of Mary Alice. But the newspaper printed her name as Annie. Before Riley could correct it, the poem had caught on like wildfire. And so, Mary Alice became known to the world as Little Orphant Annie.
Little Orphant Allie tells a new story of Mary Alice, the enchanting young girl that inspired a poem beloved for generations.
Listen closely, now . . . or the goblin's'll getcha if you don't watch out
