About this book
Marie Bashkirtseff began writing her journal at twelve, and this volume gathers its early years in a translation by Mary J. Safford, printed in New York in 1912. The preface, titled The Soul of a Little Girl, describes the entries as plain and spontaneous. Her parents moved between Paris, London, Nice and Rome, and she dreamed of becoming somebody famous. She later worked as a painter. The notebooks give a rare picture of a child's inner life, set down day by day instead of recalled in later years.
