ATG , her next sister and two brothers, wrote and published seventy-three books. The first and most famous title appeared in 1804-5. Most of these works were collaboratively authored in various combinations. They were mainly for children and mainly in verse: Ann and Jane Taylor are important in the history of verse for children. ATG also wrote for and edited a children's periodical, and reviewed books by adults. In later life she wrote religious exhortation, political advice, occasional poetry, and family memoirs (completed after her death).
