Anne Frank's Tales From The House Behind

Anne Frank's Tales From The House Behind

Beyond her world-famous diary, Anne Frank was an irrepressible storyteller who filled her notebooks with fables, short stories, and the beginning of an unfinished novel, Cady's Life. Written while in hiding in an Amsterdam warehouse, these pieces provide a broader insight into a young girl's immense literary talent and deep empathy. In Tales from the House Behind, Anne's imaginative nature takes center stage through stories of her school and friends, as well as fables featuring bears and elves. These writings offer a vivid portrait of daily life and the psychological strain of confinement, documenting a voice that wrote of a time, for all time.
