David Fleming has published “How Anne Frank Became a Writer: Revelations from the ‘Tales and Events’ Notebook” in Reading Research Quarterly (2024). Read the article (PDF).
Fleming writes in the article's abstract: "My goal here is to better fit the 'Tales' notebook into the story of Anne's life and work, a project made easier by the recent publication of Anne Frank: The Collected Works, which includes, for the first time in English, all of the author's writing, in one volume, in separate, continuous texts. To read those texts in the order in which she wrote them is to see Anne Frank not just growing as a writer but becoming a writer."
