A Young Girl's Diary: Prefaced with a Letter by Sigmund Freud

Kept by a Viennese schoolgirl from the ages of 11 to 14, this authentic diary first appeared in 1919. In a gently ironic tone, the book relates daily encounters and experiences as well as private conversations. Richly expressive, it chronicles the passage from childhood to puberty with an honesty that scandalized the anonymous author's contemporaries.
