The Diary of a Young Girl

The Diary of a Young Girl

This copy of The Diary of a Young Girl is a UK first edition. The book has a green hardback cover, but the dust jacket is missing. A Boots Library sticker is still attached to the centre on the bottom of the front cover.

The Diary of a Young Girl is a book of writings from the diary of Anne Frank. During the Nazi occupation of the Netherlands, Anne and her family were forced to go into hiding. They spent two years living in the concealed upper rooms of Anne’s father’s business premises. During this time Anne kept a diary.

Sadly, they were discovered in 1944 and deported to concentration camps. Only Anne's father, Otto Frank, survived. He later had Anne’s diary published and it has since been translated into over 60 languages. It was first published in English in 1952.
