About this book

Written by a twelve-year-old prodigy and published in 1927, this slender nature fantasy follows a girl named Eepersip who slips away from her parents' house to live outdoors. She makes her home first in a meadow, then beside the sea, and finally among the mountains, shedding the habits of ordinary life as she goes and growing wilder and lighter with each move. Barbara Newhall Follett wrote it in a voice unusually attuned to wind, water, and light, so the book reads as both a child's daydream of freedom and a quiet argument for it. Its haunting ending has kept readers returning for a century.
