Boston museum buys Anne Frank’s copy of ‘Grimm’s Fairy Tales’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA Boston museum has acquired Anne Frank’s personal copy of “Grimm’s Fairy Tales.”
Anne Frank wrote her name and the name of her sister, Margot, on the title page of the 1925 German edition of the book. The book, which sold at Swann Auction Galleries in New York City on Friday for $50,000, is accompanied by a 1977 letter from the girl’s father, Otto Frank, giving the book’s provenance.
The book was acquired by the Museum of World War II in Boston.
It is the first time in more than twenty years that something signed by Anne Frank has been up for sale, the museum says in a statement.
