Anne Frank's Tales from the House Behind / FROM THE NOTEBOOKS OF ANNE FRANK July 11, 1942: "I can't tell you how oppressive it is never to be able to go outdoors, also I'm afraid that we shall be discovered and be shot..." For two years, a young girl lived in hiding in a warehouse. All she could see was a patch of blue sky, and the branches of a tree. An irrepressible chatterbox, she was forced to speak only in a whisper. In her notebooks she wrote about her life. Besides a diary, she wrote fables, short stories, essays and the unfinished novel, Cady's Life. She wrote of fear, of nature, of the first boy she kissed, of her problems with her mother, and her father's understanding. She wrote of a time, for all time.
