the house without windows by barbara newhall follett

An extraordinary feminist fable for the next generation of nature lovers and escapees to discover and cherish. 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 (it is now thought she was murdered by her husband, the body was never discovered and he was never brought to trial). The book went on to become a million copy bestseller.

American author Barbara Newhall Follett (1914-c.39), was just thirteen years old when she published 'The House Without Windows' in 1927. But she slips away once more, following her wild heart out of the door and far away. Her heartbroken parents follow her at first, bringing her back home to 'safety' and locking her up in the stifling square of the house. 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. 207pp, illustrated, illustrated endpapers. In almost 'as new' condition, with 'Signed Copy' sticker to front jacket, not price clipped (£12.99), no other inscriptions, internally clean tight and square, overall a vg++ copy, looks unread.
