About the Author
Marie Barrett (nee Moloney) was born in Ballyhahill, County Limerick, 20kms from where she now resides, in Granagh. Her secondary schooling was with the Sisters of Mercy in Mount Trenchard, an all-girl boarding school near Foynes.
She studied French and English Literature in University College Cork from 1969 to 1972 and graduated with a BA degree. She spent five months with a family in north-east of Paris which helped with her fluency in French.
She also taught herself to read and write Spanish in her early years of her marriage to Maurice, a physicist she had briefly met at college. Together, they raised and home-schooled their three daughters, Ailbhe, Ester and Louise, eventually opening up a tuition centre that catered for second and third level students.

Introduction
The child sat on the stairs, her back to the wall, facing the banisters. Scissors in hand, she cut from her copybook pages and proceeded to fold them over and make them into a small book. Then she secured it by drawing thread through the holes she had made at the folded centre. She wanted to write a book because books were her favourite things next to the animals she spent time with in the farmyard. She wondered why Pinocchio kept telling lies, only to see his nose grow longer every time he did so. She had grown tired of playing with her clay-faced doll and pram, finding no real connection to them, and mostly dragging them around after her, up and down the stairs, and out into the sunshine.
