Escape into the wild from the comfort of your own home this winter, with a dazzling lost classic of nature writing...

Eepersip is a girl with the wild in her heart. She does not want to live locked up behind the walls of a house. So she runs away - first to the Meadow, then to the Sea, and finally to the Mountain. Her heartbroken parents follow their daughter, trying to bring her home safe, but Eepersip has other ideas...

Republished by Penguin with a new introduction and hand-inked illustrations by beloved artist Jackie Morris, The House Without Windows is a timeless fable about wildness, freedom and the redemptive power of the natural world.

''I can safely promise joy to any reader of The House Without Windows. Perfection'' Eleanor Farjeon, winner of the Carnegie Medal and The Hans Christian Andersen Award

''Gloriously illuminated by Jackie Morris's moving art, this is a work of strange power for our own bewildered times'' Nick Drake

''A classic, as miraculous and awe-inspiring as the author'' Xinran, author of The Good Women of China
