Abstract: en_US This is a delightful, penetrating set of seventeen short short-stories featuring the interior of animals. They are, I suppose, a kind of fantastic fiction, but with just the right kind of truth-seeking fiction. Toklas writes that she is completely absorbed by her desire to express the truth--her fear is the false (7). I am surprised to learn that they were written by Bodart when she was fourteen and fifteen years old. The flyleaf talks about the title-piece having the unabashed sentimentality of that master of the pathetic fallacy, Hans Christian Andersen, and the comment is appropriate. Besides this piece, my favorites are The Diary of a Dog, The Verdict, The White Line, and A London Night.
