Ameliaranne was created in 1920 with Ameliaranne and the Green Umbrella,
told by Constance Heward
with colour pictures by Susan B. Pearse.

Over the years Ameliaranne stories were written by various authors - always with the charming illustrations by Susan B. Pearse, who lived to be 102.

"She was a pale child with black hair, which she wore in curl rags from Friday night to Sunday morning."
She loved her mother and was fiercely protective of her little brothers and sisters.
The Squire thought she was a sensible child
and everyone agreed: "Ameliaranne will know what to do."
