Some of Gladys Peto's books were aimed at very young children, and contained collections of stories written by well-known authors of the time, including: Gilbert Frankau, Sheila Kaye-Smith, G. B. Stern, Berta Ruck, Christine Jope-Slade, K. L. Murray, Patrick MacGill, Margery Maitland Davidson, Sewell Stokes, and even Gladys' husband, Cuthbert Lindsay Emmerson. The photo on the right is of Gladys Peto with Isola Strong, who modelled for her drawings for the Gladys Peto's Children's Annual.
