Book description
Anne Frank is known worldwide for her powerful Diary written whilst
hiding from the Nazis. Less well known are these stories, fables,
personal reminiscences and an unfinished novel - now re-issued after
being out of print for many years.
Also included - for the first time in the UK - are Anne's edited
versions of some of her Diary entries which she re-worked after
hearing an appeal by Gerrit Bolkestein, Minister for Art, Education
and Science in the Dutch government in exile in London, to the Dutch
people to send in, after the war, written accounts of their suffering
under Nazi occupation. This gave Anne a purpose and straight away she
began the task of re-writing and editing her diaries and stories.
Her humour, unflinching honesty and her wisdom - all evident in
The Diary - are equally present in these Tales, rendering them an
essential part of her legacy. To many people Anne Frank's name has
become synonymous with the Holocaust.
