Description
Anna was four years old when Fynn, then only 16 himself, found her wandering round London's Docklands one foggy night in the 1930s. Badly neglected and abandoned by her parents, he took her home to be cared for by his own family. The impact of this extraordinary child on Fynn, his friends and the people in their neighbourhood was to be immense. Nobody who met Anna could remain the same: this intelligent, lively, precocious chatterbox had an outlook on life which completely undercut adult pretensions and illusions. Anna's influence continues today. Anyone dipping into her thought-processes falls under the spell of her luminous innocence, wisdom and intimate relationship with 'Mister God'.
Author Biography
The identity of Fynn remains mysterious.Vernon Sproxton, in his foreword to Mister God, This Is Anna writes 'He is who he was. He is pretending to be nobody other than himself. But a very real and permanent part of his being is - Anna.'
Reviews'The explosive individuality of Anna is not sentimentally touching but sometimes almost frightening. I hope that a new edition will introduce a new generation to this formidable and astonishing figure.' Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury
