A lost classic of children's nature writing, introduced and
illustrated by beloved creator of The Lost Words, Jackie Morris
This is the irresistible and entirely unique story of one little girl's
desire to escape into the wilderness.
Little Eepersip doesn't want to live in a house with doors and windows
and a roof, so she runs away to live in the wild--first in the Meadow,
then by the Sea, and finally in the Mountain. Her heartbroken parents
follow her, bringing her back home to 'safety' and locking her up in the
stifling square of the house. But she slips away once more, following
her heart into the richness of untrammeled nature and disappearing
forever.
First published in 1927 and written by a child of just twelve years old,
The House Without Windows is an extraordinary paean to the
transcendent beauty of the natural world, and the human capacity to
connect with it.
