Description

In a quiet foothill of Mount Varcrobis, a young girl named Eepersip shares a tidy cottage with her parents and a garden they have coaxed into blossom. Though the beds are filled with roses, lilacs and fire‑blossoms, the child feels a restlessness that the perfect garden cannot soothe. One dawn she slips a basket of food into her hands and wanders east, drawn by the promise of undiscovered woods.

The forest opens onto a sun‑lit lawn, a sparkling pool, and an endless field of rhododendrons where birds trill and hummingbirds nest. As she ventures higher, she meets a gentle doe and its fawn, offering them a piece of sugar and discovering an unexpected trust between human and animal. The day ends in a luminous glow over a mountain glade, leaving her heart full of wonder and a sense that the world beyond her garden holds its own kind of beauty.

A child prodigy who published her first novel at just twelve, she remains one of the most haunting figures in American literary history. Her imaginative early books won serious praise, and her unexplained disappearance in 1939 has kept interest in her life alive ever since.
