Fynn: 'MISTER GOD, THIS IS ANNA' (Paperback, 1977, Fontana) 4 stars

Mister God this is Anna

4 stars

A curious, if not quirky, little book about the world as seen through the eyes of a 7 year old child growing up in the East End of London. Her philosophising mind explores what it means to be a person, and to be part of something greater. It's a book about seeing God in a new light, I suppose, although I also found there was much to learn from Anna as a non-Christian. Captivating to the very end... you feel as if you've been led gently by the hand into the world of this 7 year old. You'll find yourself pondering and laughing along with Anna all the way.
