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.

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.
