Anna and Mister God Paperback – Deluxe Edition, February 29, 2004

This is a happy book.It is one of the most beautiful books* I ever read. The story of this beautiful girl, Anna, is both amazing and inspiring.*it's actually a reprint of 3 separate books about Anna combined inside 1 cover.Anna is not only a genius on many levels, but, most importantly, a little girl who is pure love... an example to us all.Fynn is not only a brilliant mathematician, a very wise person/parent figure, but also a very gifted writer.The book is a wonderful example of seeing the cup "half full" in the midst of hard life.Yes, there are a few scientific and mathematical experiments, in the first part (book), which were over my head, but aside from this, it is a book of pure, unconditional love, something to be cherished and re-read often. Especially, when we get lost in life, this book will bring you back to what matters and what is important.The last part (the last book) is also a wonderful book for all of you out there who are not quite sure about Mister God.Thank you Fynn for your gifts of Anna.

Actually, this is three books in one. The 1st, "Mister God This is Anna," is slightly different from the old copy I found & loved years ago: I suspect mine was "translated" from British to US English. The story hasn't changed, however, & even if you don't agree with all of Anna's or Fynn's ideas, they will entertain & make you think."Anna's Book" is some of Anna's writings, with comments or explanations by Fynn."Anna & the Black Knight" is about Fynn's & Anna's encounters with a mathematician & the effects they had on each other. You don't have to be a math whiz to enjoy this.

One of the most beautifully meaningful stories I have ever read. The book arrived in perfect condition and the quality of the print, paper, and book size did not dissappoint me.

Beautiful, inspiring story! I would highly recommend this book to anyone who wants a more pure version of what God is really like.

It arrived in good condition - now I just need to read it.

In 1973, when I was twelve years old, I once entered the kitchen while my mother was cooking and my little sister of four years was playing on the kitchen floor. Just when I entered the room my sister suddenly stopped playing with her toys and looked up to my mother and said: "Mum, God can not think, can he? My mother looked at my sister with surprise and said with some confusion in her voice: "Well... I don't know. Why can God not think?" And my little sister answered: "God never has to. He knows eveything!" And that said it all, according to the fact that she continued playing with her toys on the kitchen floor. My mother and I smiled to each other. Later I realized the remark of my sister was bulls eye. Of course God can not think because he knows everything!This moment, when I entered the kitchen and heard my sister's opinion of God's unability to think I'll never forget and I remembered it even more vividly when reading about Anna.Anna is the true story about a little girl of five years who still seem to remember her spiritual home. She makes observations about life, God and things as they are all the time in a very touching and striking way. For me - as a practiosioner having a Buddhist background some of Anna's remarks are pure Buddhism. "God is empty" she says and does "not reflect anything".Many reviewed the book "Mister God, This is Anna" (ISBN 0345327225) and there is not much more to add. Only this: some people who read the book do not believe a little girl like Anna could exist. In that case they really never met my little sister.Fortunelately via this book you have the chance to meet Anna, in all her openess and honesty and with all her insights. Don't miss this beautiful oportunity.

I have a copy in paperback that sits on a bookcase behind my bed within 4 feet of where I sleep. Copyright year 1974 published by Ballentine,First Ballentine printing year 1976. I purchased it many years ago digging through a box of misc books at a flea market. Never realizing I found a special gift of a lifetime. Thanks for sharing this memory.

Some books make you go "Ah!" with inspiration and epiphany; a book containing one line that provokes such a response deserves a place on the bookshelf. This 30th anniversary compilation of all of Fynn's three books has many such "Ah!" moments.I am touched by Anna's genuine faith, eyes to see the world and God, her poem "When I shall die" and Fynn's love for her. As a scientist, I also enjoy the way she seeks to understand science and math (I have personally tried one of her fun mini experiments - the one that uses and expanding mirror to increase the number of edges on a shape).No wonder the bible says, let the little children come. This child Anna sees some things better than adults.Wonderful illustrations by Papas. I'm currently buying my third copy.
