有一天，我的妹妹維吉尼亞醒來時，她覺得自己是一隻小狼。
她開始像狼一樣嚎叫，做出莫名其妙的舉動……

她不准我穿那件我最喜歡的黃色洋裝，
不准小鳥嘰嘰喳喳叫，不准有朋友到家裡找她玩。

我希望能讓維吉尼亞變得開心，但是試了很多方法都沒有用。
維吉尼亞告訴我，
如果她能飛到一個完美的祕境，她可能會感覺好一點。

維吉尼亞心目中的「完美祕境」在哪裡？
真的有這個地方嗎？


◎ 故事創作靈感來源
本書以知名英國作家維吉尼亞‧吳爾芙與畫家姊姊凡妮莎‧貝爾之間的手足情誼及童年故事為靈感，描繪姊姊如何幫助妹妹抒發情緒，揮別陰暗，重新找到生活樂趣。
　　

Vanessa's sister, Virginia, is in a ?wolfish? mood --- growling, howling and acting very strange. It's a funk so fierce, the whole household feels topsy-turvy. Vanessa tries everything she can think of to cheer her up, but nothing seems to work. Then Virginia tells Vanessa about an imaginary, perfect place called Bloomsberry. Armed with an idea, Vanessa begins to paint Bloomsberry on the bedroom walls, transforming them into a beautiful garden complete with a ladder and swing ?so that what was down could climb up.? Before long, Virginia, too, has picked up a brush and undergoes a surprising transformation of her own. Loosely based on the relationship between author Virginia Woolf and her sister, painter Vanessa Bell, Virginia Wolf is an uplifting story for readers of all ages.
