About this ebook
Complete and unabridged, with 60 full-page plates by Edvard Munch, William Orpen and Spencer Gore. Ann Veronica walks out of her father's house in Morningside Park because he will not let her attend a dance, and finds that independence costs rather more than the train fare.

Sixty plates of parks and seashores by painters including Edvard Munch and John Lavery run from 1853 to 1928, the green and open air Ann Veronica fights to reach.
