The narrator is an old woman recalling her strange childhood and the story is focused through the eyes of her earlier self. Praised by Leon Trotsky in 1908 for its progressive outlook, this symbolist novella is here presented alongside two rare, complementary short-fiction pieces: \u003ci\u003eThe Burning of Egliswyl\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Sacrificial Lamb\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrank Wedekind (1864-1918) was a German author and dramatist.
