Memoirs of a Midget
by Walter de la Mare
“In a world built for giants, the smallest soul often sees the most.”
Miss M. may stand only inches tall, but her sharp wit and vast interior world dwarf the society that treats her as a mere curiosity. Forced to navigate a landscape built for giants after the loss of her parents, she embarks on a hauntingly beautiful quest for dignity and belonging. This lyrical masterpiece offers a profound look at the resilience of the human spirit in a world that only sees the surface.
