Description
Tales From The House Behind by Anne Frank is a collection of short stories, fables, personal reminiscences and other writings created while Frank was hiding from the Nazis in Amsterdam’s Secret Annex. Written by Frank from the age of thirteen onwards, these lesser-known works offer a broader view of her development as a writer beyond the diary for which she became famous.
The collection includes fictional stories and fables, personal recollections, an unfinished novel and passages from Frank’s diary that were originally withheld from publication. The writings range from imaginative and humorous pieces to more personal and reflective work, revealing the breadth of her interests, observations and developing literary voice.
A good choice for readers interested in Anne Frank, literary history, short stories, wartime writing and the personal writings of young authors.
