Summary |
"Little Frida: A Tale of the Black Forest" by Anonymous is a work of fiction written in the late 19th century. The narrative follows a young girl named Frida who is discovered in the Black Forest by a wood-cutter, Wilhelm Hörstel, after being separated from her father. The story explores themes of family, belonging, and faith as Frida's presence profoundly affects the lives of her new guardians and their community. At the start of the story, we meet a peasant woman anxiously waiting for her husband to return from the forest, fearing for his safety as night falls. Her son Hans reassures her but ultimately, it is Wilhelm who returns, unexpectedly carrying little Frida, a child left abandoned in the woods. As Wilhelm recounts his encounter with Frida, we learn that she is searching for her father, who is missing. The opening chapters set the stage for the emotional journey of the characters as they navigate their roles in Frida's life, amidst the backdrop of the forest and the complexities of love, loss, and hope.
