About this listen
Brought to you by Penguin.
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 13 years old when she published The House Without Windows in 1927. The book went on to become a million-copy best seller. 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.

"A classic, as miraculous and awe-inspiring as the nine-year-old author. Jackie Morris portrays the artistic elegance of the eastern ink with the wisdom of the West" (Xinran, author of The Good Women of China)

It was ok ...
The narration was very good, and considering it was written by a 12 year old girl, it was really well done. But not my cup of tea...

I loved it
I know this kind of story might not be everyone’s cup of tea but I really enjoyed it. I think it was well written and I felt transported to those meadows and seas and mountains. Thought it was slightly repetitive sometimes but thought the overall story was really good. She was 12 when she wrote it so you can’t expect perfection.
