About the Book

Teak is travelling with her parents across Europe between the two World Wars. With no friends and her parents often working, she is very lonely. To comfort Teak when they are apart, her mother tells her that they can meet in the imaginary world Teak has created called Beejumstan. Teak's travels to this magical realm bring her face to face with Lonesome, a well-attired rabbit; Figg Newton, the alchemist; the witches Rudintruda and Idy Fix; Gezeebius, the Wise Old Man; and many other fascinating characters. Through this enchanting tale, Alice O. Howell suggests that within us are many worlds as real and compelling as the one we know outside. Partly autobiographical, The Beejum Book explores a child's instinct to use imagination to offer comfort and deal with anxiety, an impulse that we can all be inspired by.

About the Author :
Alice O. Howell (1922-2014) was born in Cambridge, Massachusetts. By the age of eighteen, she had lived in or travelled to thirty-seven countries. She graduated from the Buser Institut in Switzerland before returning to the US. She studied Jungian depth psychology and astrology for thirty years and was the author of seven books, including two books for children, The Beejum Book and Lara's First Christmas. She died just shy of her 92nd birthday.

Review :
"Read this book to yourself, or read it aloud to a young child, and delight in the hidden ironies of language and the pearls of wisdom you trip over when you least expect them. As Alice in Wonderland magically mir-rored the Victorian world, so The Beejum Book mirrors ours." -- Marion Woodman, author of Bone: Dying into Life and Addiction to Perfection "This delicious, exhilarating marvel of a book has a pace, wit, fantasy, and spiritual depth. The Beejum Book will take its place with The Little Princess and Charlotte's Web as a perennial classic." -- Andrew Harvey, author of The Direct Path and Son of Man "A new classic. Wise and funny, startling and exuberant, it offers us new ways of being as it stirs up our pluck and cunning, our courage and our commitment." -- Jean Houston, author of Jump Time, The Possible Human, and A Mythic Life "This book is destined to become a classic. Both young and old will find enchantment and nourishment for the soul." -- James Redfield, author of The Celestine Prophecy "Sheer magic and pure delight. This book breaks upon one like a revelation." -- Philip Zaleski, editor of The Best Spiritual Writing series and author of The Recollected Heart
