By the age of 14, Barbara Newhall Follett had published two books with Knopf, including 1927's enchanting "The House Without Windows." Soon after her world turned upside down when her father left home. This long book, compiled and edited by her half-nephew, tells the story of Barbara's extraordinary life through her letters, poems, and prose.
LOST ISLAND was Barbara Newhall Follett's third and last novel. It tells the story of Jane Carey, a young woman from Maine whose character and philosophy bear a striking similarity to her creator's. This expanded edition includes three other stories by Barbara and an afterword by her half-nephew, Stefan Cooke, which ties the stories together.
