Reseña del editor
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 untrammelled 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.
Nota de la solapa
Discover this dazzling lost classic of nature writing - from the pen of a twelve year old child...
Little Eepersip doesn't want to live in a house with doors and windows and a roof. Her heart calls out for the smell of the earth, the wind rushing through high branches, the gentle buzz and hum of midsummer insects. 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 silence of the house. But Eepersip cannot be bound. She slips away once more, following her wild heart out of the door and far away...
Penguin are delighted to republish Barbara Newhall Follett's extraordinary feminist fable for the next generation of escapees and wild souls to cherish. Newly introduced by Jackie Morris, and filled with her beautifully inked artwork, The House Without Windows is an irresistible paean to the natural world and its transcendent effect on the human heart.

Gloriously illuminated by Jackie Morris's moving art, this is a work of strange power for our own bewildered times' Nick Drake 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 at first, 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 wild heart out of the door and far away. Barbara Newhall Follett was just thirteen years old when she published The House Without Windows in 1927. The book went on to become a million-copy bestseller. Years later, as an adult herself, Barbara followed in the footsteps of her radical heroine - dissatisfied with the limitations of life as a respectable married woman, she walked out of her house one day and simply disappeared.
