This "amazingly precocious" diary of girlhood in the early twentieth century is filled with a "special charm" (The Christian Science Monitor).
Born in Paris, Anaïs Nin started her celebrated diary at age eleven, when she was immigrating to New York with her mother and two young brothers. The diary became her confidant, her beloved friend, in which she recorded her most intimate thoughts and kept watch on the state of her character.
Offering an amusing view of Nin's early life, from age eleven to seventeen, it is also a self-portrait of an innocent girl who is transformed, through her own insights, into an enlightened young woman.
"An enchanting portrait of a girl's constant search for herself . . . will delight her admirers as well as new readers." —Library Journal
"One of the most extraordinary documents in the annals of literature." —Providence Sunday Journal
"[The Early Diary is] not merely an overture to the great performance. It deserves our attention on its own as a revelation of the rites of passage of a young girl in the early part of the [twentieth] century and as an expression of the collision of cultures between Europe and America." —Los Angeles Times
