Boisterous, witty, and enchanting, this collection of childrens poems by Robert Graveswith iconic drawings by Edward Ardizzonewill delight any young reader. This 50th-anniversary edition is a digital reproduction of the 1964 original that was published in the United States and Great Britain.

Seven poems evoke the world of Victorian England and include the story of Ann,",the third-but-youngest child of seventeen", who runs away to live at a dukes palace, a valentine in verse, a battle of words lost in translation between King George II and the Chinese Emperor, a bedside visit to a little girl from her doctor, and a lively argument between young Caroline and Charles that sounds a lot like 21st century banter between children.

Ann at Highwood Hall will thrill scholars of Robert Graves, collectors of classic childrens book illustrators, historians and poetry lovers of all ages.
