The Poor Little Rich Girl

A strange psychedelic classic children’s novel; the adventures of Gwendolyn, the emotionally underprivileged child of New York society parents in a world where metaphors such as "she's a snake in the grass" literally come true. The Poor Little Rich Girl is a children’s fantasy about a little girl named Gwendolyn who is lonely and longs for a friend. But she is isolated by rich parents who ignore her and left to the care of servants who are indifferent. Her nanny’s carelessness with some medicine plunges Gwendolyn into a bewildering world in which metaphors literally come to life. (cover image courtesy of Cécile Graat)
