Description
From the Dust Jacket
Here, at last, is the superb companion to the two million-copy bestseller Mister God, This Is Anna. In Anna, Mister God, and the Black Knight Anna once again works her charm as she takes readers through the joyful adventures of her life. Brilliantly complemented by beautiful black-and-white illustrations by Papas, Fynn’s magic continues to delight and enchant readers with the small miracle that is Anna. When Anna first appeared in 1974 in Mister God, This Is Anna, she took the world by storm. This little waif from London’s East End charmed critics and readers alike with her irresistible capacity for friendship and love and her astonishing dialogue with “Mister God.” Now Anna is back with the same friends: Fynn, Mum, Millie, and of course, Mister God. Through Fynn she meets new friends, among them, Old John D., the Black Knight, Fynn’s agnostic, rationalist former schoolmaster, who finds himself intrigued and quietly moved by Anna’s innocent and eccentric wisdom. Anna’s astonishing capacity for looking at the world from Mister God’s point of view leaves them in a constant state of bemused fascination. Through her, both Fynn and Old John D. discover the meaning of love. Anna is, indeed, a pearl of great price. As in Fynn’s previous hooks, every page of Anna, Mister God, and the Black Knight bursts with her childlike and yet strangely wise views on life and faith. As we look at the world through Anna’s eyes we are able to recapture that special logic of childhood innocence and clarity that strikes so near to the truth. Anna, Mister God, and the Black Knightwill capture the hearts and minds of readers with the timeless qualities of humanity, wisdom, and love of life that it conveys.
