Tales from the Secret Annex is a collection of miscellaneous prose fiction and non-fiction written by Anne Frank while she was in hiding during the Nazi occupation of The Netherlands.

Anne also describes loneliness in the Annex, like missing her friends.

Along with her posthumously published diary, written in hiding between 1942 and 1944 and published in 1947, Anne Frank wrote short stories, essays, personal recollections, and the first five chapters of a novel.

The latter was written in the back half of one of her diary notebooks, while the short pieces were compiled into a journal begun on September 2, 1943.

Entitled Verhaaltjes, en gebeurtenissen uit het Achterhuis beschreven door Anne Frank (Stories and events from the Backhouse described by Anne Frank), it was recovered with her other manuscripts from her hiding place by Miep Gies and Bep Voskuijl following Anne Frank's arrest by the Gestapo on August 4, 1944.
