One morning, Vanessa’s sister Virginia wakes up in a “wolfish” mood. So Vanessa tries to cheer her up, and with the help of a paintbrush and a little imagination, the sisters create a fantasy place called Bloomsbury, where flowers flourish and down becomes up. Parents will love the subtle nuances while kids will be charmed by this sweet-story inspired by famed author Virginia Woolf’s life.
