Tales from the Secret Annex
Overview & Summary
This collection gathers the short stories, fables, essays, and unfinished novel fragments that Anne Frank wrote during her two years in hiding, alongside the diary that made her famous. The pieces reveal her ambitions as a fiction writer in her own right -- ranging from whimsical fairy tales to sharp character sketches of the other people hiding in the annex -- and offer a fuller picture of her imagination beyond the diary entries themselves.
