Mister God, This Is Anna

The story of Anna now told by Fynn took place around 1945. Fynn, aged nineteen, when roaming South East London’s dockland one foggy November night, picked up, literally from the gutter, a filthy, bruised, battered and terrified little girl. He took home to his Irish “Mum”.

Anna’s main occupation in life was being a personal friend and helper, of Mister God. She knew the purpose of being and the meaning of love. At six she was a theologian, mathematician, philosopher, poet and gardener. At seven she died after a terrible accident, with a grin on her beautiful face, saying ‘ I bet MIster God lets me get into heaven for this’.

The story of Anna, superbly illustrated by Papas, is so strange and so enchanting that the reader finds it hard to believe that it is a story about real people.
