ANN KELLEY is a photographer and prize-winning poet who once nearly played cricket for Cornwall. She has previously published a collection of poetry and photographs, a book of photos of St Ives families and an audio book of cat stories. She lives with her husband and cats on the edge of a cliff in Cornwall where they have survived a flood, a landslip, a lightning strike and the roof blowing off.

The author as artist evokes people and places with delicacy, humour and truth a novel of outstanding beauty. The world of life and death, beauty and truth seen through the eyes of a 12 year old girl. A rare and beautiful book of lasting quality we felt this is a voice that needs to be heard and read. COSTA BOOK AWARD JUDGES, 2007Brilliant THE MAIL ON SUNDAYI'm pleased to be able to announce that Gussie has lived to see another day with Kelley capturing so beautifully Gussie's optimism and hope. SUE BAKER'S PERSONAL CHOICE, PUBLISHING NEWSIt's a lovely book - lyrical, funny, full of wisdom. Gussie is such a dear - such a delight and a wonderful character, bright and sharp and strong, never to be pitied for an instant. HELEN DUNMORE, author of INGO
