Mister God, This is Anna - The Story of a Very Special Friendship (Paperback)

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'.

Review This Product

Sat, 31 Dec 2011 | Review by: Willemien K.

My first exposure to this jewel of a book was on a holiday – what a jewel of a book! Set in London’s docklands of many years ago, this book describes the special relationships between people of all sorts and how the innocence, inquisitiveness and simple yet strong faith of one little girl impacted on many people’s lives. Anna is the little girl who was neglected and abandoned by her parents when only 4 years old. She was then found by a 16 year old boy called Fynn, who took her to his mom, where they then raised her for awhile. Anna has a lot to say, ranging from topics such as life, mathematics, science and most importantly of her ‘mentor’ Mister God (as she calls Him). Anna got involved with everything and anything, on a deep level, and nothing was too much or too complex for her little mind. It is not meant to be a theological book and should not be viewed as such. It can however open your mind to maybe how ‘simple a small child’s faith is’, and then faith is easier as well. This little book can be read by anyone and everyone many times over for its depth one discovers with every next reading.
