Hardback book with slip cover published by Barefoot Books.
In a quiet town, of a sort not found nowadays, lives a beautiful young girl. One summer day, she visits the woods with her mother and father. While her parents prepare the picnic, she seeks out buttercups and daisies for a flower necklace. As she does so, a wish forms in her mind – and to her surprise, a silver-haired woman appears, ready to grant it. Carol Ann Duffy’s story of a girl’s journey through life, and the desires that shape it, will speak to everyone who wonders about the mysteries that lie at the heart of the human experience.
Carol Ann Duffy’s poetry is known and loved all over the world. The first woman to have held the position of Poet Laureate in Britain, Carol Ann is also a celebrated writer for children. She lives in Manchester with her daughter, Ella.
Rob Ryan is an artist who lives and works in London.
