The House Without Windows

This is the irresistible and entirely unique story of one little girls desire to escape into the wilderness. Little Eepersip doesnt 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.
