The fiftieth anniversary edition of the renowned author’s poems for
children—featuring the original, iconic illustrations. This
collection of boisterous and witty children’s poems by Robert
Graves—with charming drawings by painter and illustrator Edward
Ardizzone—has enchanted generations of young readers. Celebrating
its fiftieth anniversary, the original 1964 edition is now available
in this beautiful digital reproduction. These seven timeless 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 duke’s palace; a valentine in verse; a battle of words lost in
translation between King George II and the Chinese Emperor; a
doctor’s bedside visit to a little girl; and a lively argument
between young Caroline and Charles that is strikingly similar to the
banter of twenty-first century children. Ann at Highwood Hall is a
classic of children’s literature that will thrill fans of Robert
Graves and poetry lovers of all ages.
