Eepersip decides that she has had enough of her family life, and that she is old enough to run away.

I did a little more research, and discovered that the book was written when the author was just nine years old, and published when she was twelve, in 1927. I read about Barbara Newhall Follett’s The House Without Windows in a Waterstones newsletter, and thought it sounded intriguing. ![]()
