Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_3'); })Came Back to Show You I Could Fly is a novel by Australian author Robin Klein.Seymour Kerley was an eleven-year-old loner, stuck with a fussy guardian in an inner-city suburb and forbidden to leave the house over summer holidays. Bored and unhappy, he sneaks out one day, and in his rush to get away from the bullies in the area, stumbles upon Angie: a beautiful, charismatic woman who lives in a shed out the back of one of the other houses in Seymour's guardian's neighbourhood. He is bewitched by her carefree attitude and wild behaviour, and she opens up a whole wide world to him that he'd never experienced before: shopping sprees, sojourns to rich neighbourhoods, gambling.Angie, however, is not what she seems: it becomes apparent that she is unemployed, has to take medication dispensed from an out-of-the-way clinic for an undisclosed problem, estranged from her wealthy family, very probably a thief, and prone to fits of rage and "flu".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_content_2'); })Came Back to Show You I Could Fly won the 1989 Australian Human Rights Award for Literature, the 1990 Australian Children's Book of the Year Award for older readers, and was shortlisted for the 1990 Victorian Premier's Literary Award and the NSW Premier's Literary Award.It received a film adaptation in 1993. Due to rights issues involving the eponymous song, the film is Say a Little Prayer instead. | |
