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.
Anne Frank was just thirteen when her world was turned upside down. With her parents and sister, each wearing the accursed yellow star demanded of all Jews by the Nazis, she left her family home in a suburb of Amsterdam and walked to a hiding place - the 'Secret Annexe' - which had been prepared in her father's office building. Anne was now without an outlet for her natural exuberance, and the years in the Annexe - which necessitated both discipline and quiet - would have been suffocating but for the fact that she could write. This ability gave her a way to cope with the confinement, to convert her exasperation, her dreams of becoming a famous author, and her fear of what might happen, into something creative. In these Tales the reader can observe Anne's writing prowess grow from that of a young girl's into the observations of a perceptive, edgy, witty and compassionate young woman. 'I can't imagine having to live like ... all the women who go about their work and are then forgotten I need to have something besides a husband and children to devote myself to! I don't want to have lived in vain like most people.'
