For the adventurer in your life - young or old - discover a dazzling lost classic and escape to distant shores...
Eepersip is a girl with the wild in her heart. She does not want to live locked up behind the walls of a house. So she runs away - first to the Meadow, then to the Sea, and finally to the Mountain. Her heartbroken parents follow their daughter, trying to bring her home safe, but Eepersip has other ideas...
Republished by Penguin with a new introduction and hand-inked illustrations by beloved artist Jackie Morris, The House Without Windows is a timeless fable about wildness, freedom and the redemptive power of the natural world.
Astonishingly lyrical - The Spectator
The House without Windows is miraculous - a fearless odyssey into a dreamtime of wildness and enchantment. Gloriously illuminated by Jackie Morris's moving art, this is a work of strange power for our own bewildered times. -- Nick Drake
Extraordinary. Deeply weird, beautiful & unsettling. - - Robert Macfarlane
One of the strangest, most enchanting and mystifying stories I've read in recent years . . . It's beautiful, bonkers and brimming with the abundance and richness of nature and a life lived with no boundaries. Also Jackie's intro and illustrations provide a depth and context that only lifts the book and its story higher. -- Rob Cowen
A classic, as miraculous and awe-inspiring as the author Xinran, author of The Good Women of China
I can safely promise joy to any reader of The House Without Windows. Perfection Eleanor Farjeon, winner of the Carnegie Medal and The Hans Christ ian Andersen Award
Barbara Newhall Follett was an American child prodigy. Born in 1914, she published her first novel, The House Without Windows , aged twelve. One year later she published another, The Voyage of the Norman D., based on her own experiences sailing round Nova Scotia without her parents at thirteen years old.
Barbara Newhall Follett walked out of her home with $30 in her pocket one evening shortly before Christmas 1939 and was never seen again. The mystery of her disappearance has never been solved.
