Listening to 9 yo Barbara Newhall Follett‘s House Without Windows & Patti‘s audiobook while waiting for my book mail of The Story She Left Behind. Patti Callahan Henry once again swept me down a Rabbit Hole of research!
BNF @ 4 yo learned to read & type. At 9 yo created her own land & language. Reading Barbara Newhall Follett‘s Letters, The Lost Words, & about Beatrix Potter & HER secret language, and THEIR love of nature

kspenmoll I want to read this! 5h
tpixie @kspenmoll after reading a little more, I learned she wrote the book at nine, but then there was a house fire and it was destroyed, so it was rewritten at 12 and then published. And unfortunately, I pre-ordered Patti Callahan Henry‘s book & I won‘t receive it until one week after it‘s published! Sometimes I guess there‘s a disadvantage to the reader on pre-ordering! I guess I‘ll keep reading her Barbara Newhall Follett‘s letters until then! (edited) 5h
