Excerpt from The Child Andrea
This story, giving the spirit process of development by which a girl is changed into a maiden, was written by a Danish novelist and is based upon the study of a real girl. The translator has omitted a chapter relating to the dawn of sex consciousness in order to satisfy American ideas of literary decency. This renders the book incomplete from the psychological point of view, but what remains is the most pathetic, beautiful, and shocking revelation of such a young creature's mind.
