Anna and the Otherwhere

In the far north of Finland a lonely, young princess longs for a friend her own age of seven, but has little chance of finding any seven-year-old in such a remote castle. Playing by herself in the fields behind the castle, Princess Anna suddenly discovers she is lost. The castle is gone and a strange child is handing her a strange flower. Should she embrace the change or fear it? How can she get back home? What are the tests she must pass?

At the same time, on another planet, a child prince, whose father died before he can remember, longs to know more than the stories of his father’s heroism and bravery. He wants to meet his father, but can he? Are such dreams possible on the Somewhere Else Planet? In the Otherwhere? Anywhere?

Can children’s dreams come true? Is making a wish come true complex or simple? What skills must a child acquire to realize a dream?

Anna and the Otherwhere is a unique, colorfully-illustrated fantasy from the days before the recorded history of Finland when some still knew how to use innate abilities that have now all but been forgotten. This timeless tale of longing, love and learning will delight all those from nine to ninety.
