Product Description
Product Description
Six-year-old Anna was found wandering in London's docklands one grey day in the 1930s and was taken home to Fynn's mum to be cared for. She lived there until her premature death, filling their lives with light and her amazing talks with "Mister God". Anna kept special things in a shoebox, including her own writings about everything that took her interest. Here, in her own uncorrected spelling, are her thoughts on God, a tree, Fynn and her idealized but lost mother.

Delightful, heartwarming child's view of love, tears, life.
22 July 1997
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A precious follow-up to "Mister God, This is Anna", also by Fynn. Actual notes by Anna, edited by Fynn, reflecting her child's view and feelings about "Mummy", love, tears, giving, God, and herself. The deep insights and keen perceptions of this unusual girl from age 4 to 7, reveal a rare gift of wisdom, and the wonder and pure joy of living which few children are able to express.
Anna's images are rapturously poetic, as when she describes Mummy's kiss: smooth as a duck's tummy, cool as the grass, and soft as a spider's web. Her sweet purity washes away adult sophistication and brings memories of our own child within. She explains how crying is good because it is like washing the windows so you can see better. She tells how an angel took her up a rainbow to a place where she learned an important lesson and had a good laugh, then he let her slide down the rainbow back into her room.
"Anna's Book" affirms the good, simple truths of life. You'll want your own and one or more to give away -- I did. And if you haven't read "Mister God, This is Anna", you'll want to.
