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'.

Mister God, This Is Anna is a book by Sydney Hopkins under the pseudonym "Fynn" describing the adventures of Anna, a mischievous yet wise four-year-old whom Fynn finds as a runaway. Nineteen-year-old Fynn takes Anna home to his mother who takes her in, though Fynn becomes Anna's main caretaker and closest friend. Fynn recounts his time spent with Anna, and gives a very personal account of her outpourings on life, mathematics, science and her mentor, Mister God.

Literature & Fiction

Fynn found Anna wandering the streets of East London in the 1930s and, unable to discover where she lived, took her home to live with his mother. Fynn would spend his evenings talking and playing with Anna; they chatted about life, particularly science and mathematics, and Anna would tell him about her conversations with 'Mister God', to whom she poured out all her thoughts and troubles. Anna's innocent but insightful world-view caused Fynn to reassess his own. This is the story of Anna's short life and the liberating effect she had on her friend Fynn.

Six-year-old Anna was found wandering in London's docklands one grey day in the 1930s and was taken home to Fynn's mum to be cared for. She lived there until her premature death, filling their lives with light and her amazing talks with "Mister God". Her life was vividly presented in "Mister God", "This is Anna" and "Anna's Book", and although the events portrayed there took place a generation ago, they are as immediate as if they had happened only yesterday. In this book, Anna is back with the same friends - Funn, mum, Millie, and of course, Mister God. And there are new friends: we meet the Black Knight for the first time, and Anna's astonishing capacity for looking at things from Mister God's point of view stands her in good stead as always.

A collection of three contemporary stories featuring a young six-year-old girl, whose short life is recorded in these three books. Found wandering in London's Docklands one grey day in the 1930's, she is taken home by Fynn.

Anna and Mister God

HarperCollins Publishers, Ltd

A stunning 30th anniversary edition of the best-selling Mister God This Is Anna, together with the sequels, Anna's Book, Anna and the Black Knight, with a new preface by Dr Rowan Williams, Archbishop of Canterbury. "I knew her on her own terms, the way she demanded to be known: from the inside first. 'Most of an angel is in the inside', and this is the way I learned to know her -- my first angel." Anna was four years old when Fynn, then only 16 himself, found her wandering round London's Docklands one foggy night in the 1930s. As she was badly neglected and virtually 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'. Her artless and transparent conversations with the Almighty speak to the heart and are often recorded using her own unique and colourful spelling. With humour and insight, Fynn movingly recounts Anna's short life and abundantly rich philosophy in these three timeless books, bound together in this stunning, 30th Anniversary edition.
