Wonderful
Barbara Newhall Follett hat im Alter von 12 Jahren ein überaus wichtiges und bemerkenswertes Buchgeschrieben. Für all diejenigen, die noch nicht tot sind, ist diese Geschichte ein kleiner Hoffnungsschimmer,ein Aufruf durchzuhalten und die Revolution gegen die Zombie - Vollidioten, die den Planeten verwüsten und alles Lebendige versklaven und auslöschen müssen, voranzutreiben.Hier wird die Verbundenheit mit dem Leben anderer Wesen (Flora und Fauna) und den gemeinsam erlebten Umständen (Umwelt, Sonne, Mond und Sterne) gefeiert. Die "Heldin" des Buches - sie heißtEepersip, erlebt die Welt ohne Filter wie TV, Geld, erfundene Gottheiten, etc.Sie ist frei.Wie schön.

Beautiful book
The book itself is a thing of beauty: lightweight, despite being hardback; dust cover with a design of golden butterflies; delightful and engaging illustrations; inbuilt ribbon bookmark - all in all, a pleasure for the hands and eyes.The story, rich with detailed description of nature and wild creatures, seen through the eyes of an empathetic and very special 'wild' child, is a treasure. I have not yet finished it and am rationing myself, as I don't want it to be over.

The House Without Windows
I couldn't have added more to the already written, wonderful, review.A brilliant book by an extraordinarily talented child (at the time), brought back to life by Hamish Hamilton (an imprint of Penguin Books)This might bring you close to nature and appreciate its elements of beauty that sometimes being taken for granted, and spend a little more time, whenever we can, to be with nature.

Sad end for author who was a child prodigy.
Haven't read this book yet but it arrived promptly, in excellent condition and the cover is beautifully illustrated. This book is apparently famous in the U.S.A but not here in the U.K, and I heard about it via YouTube. The author vanished without trace after marrying an abusive older man, sadly. The circumstances surrounding her disappearance were very suspicious and it is believed that she was likely murdered by her husband. She was a very kind person by all accounts and gifted, being a child prodigy. I hope she managed to escape him and lived in hiding, but it seems unlikely.
