Fynn, nom de plume de Sydney George Hopkins, a exploré des thèmes profondément introspectifs dans son écriture. Ses œuvres ont souvent abordé les complexités de l'esprit humain et la quête de sens dans l'existence quotidienne. Il était connu pour son engagement envers les philosophies éducatives alternatives et une profonde croyance dans le potentiel individuel. L'approche littéraire de Fynn se caractérise par une observation sensible et une perspective compatissante sur le développement de l'enfant.
From the moment Anna and Fynn locked eyes, their times together were filled with delight and discovery. In her completely frank and honest way, Anna had an astonishing ability to ask--and answer--life's largest questions, and to feel the purpose of being. You see, Anna had a very special friendship with Mr. God. "Extraordinarily moving!" PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In 1974, Fynn told the story of Anna, a waif from London's East End whom he found wandering near the docks one foggy night. Mister God, This is Anna was the touching account of the remarkable friendship between an intuitive, intelligent and disconcertingly perceptive child and the young man of nineteen who befriended her. In the course of the extraordinary relationship that developed between them, Anna changed Fynns life forever, as her story changed the lives of millions of readers. Now Fynn brings us Anna's Book, a complilation of Anna's own writings, which Fynn has saved since her death. Fresh with the unexpected insights of a child, Anna's Book deals with such diverse and vital subjects as organized religion, the Bible, and Anna's relationships with her absent mother and with Fynn. But most of all, Anna's Book is about Mister God, more real and compelling to Anna than anyone or anything else in the world.
