Anne Frank's Tales from the Secret Annex

Audiobook

The candid, poignant, unforgettable writing of the young girl whose own life story has become an everlasting source of courage and inspiration.
Hiding from the Nazis in the “Secret Annex” of an old office building in Amsterdam, a thirteen-year-old girl named Anne Frank became a writer. The now famous diary of her private life and thoughts reveals only part of Anne’s story, however. This book rounds out the portrait of this remarkable and talented young author.
Newly translated, complete, and restored to the original order in which Anne herself wrote them in her notebook, Tales from the Secret Annex is a collection of Anne Frank’s lesser-known writings: short stories, fables, personal reminiscences, and an unfinished novel, Cady’s Life.

      While Anne Frank's diary is well known, her short stories are not. In a soft voice, Kathe Mazur reads her series of vignettes of life in the Netherlands, written while she was in hiding between 1942 and 1944. Through these tales, the listener learns more about the daily life of Anne's family and the others in their small quarters. Mazur's voice often reflects the tedium of the daily routine. At other times, her intonation suggests the stressful situations Anne recounts in these stories. The tales contain few references to the Germans or the war, or the terror of living in hiding. While Mazur's voice sounds too mature for 13-15-year-old Anne, her engaging delivery captures Anne's charm and energy. M.B.K. (c) AudioFile 2010, Portland, Maine
