"Memoirs of a Midget" by Walter de la Mare is a novel published in 1921. The unnamed protagonist, Miss M., is a woman of extraordinarily small stature navigating a world not built for her. After her parents' deaths leave her alone at age twenty, she must forge her own path. She falls under the spell of the captivating but cruel Fanny Bowater, whose ambitions and manipulations lead to tragedy. Miss M. rejects the love of Mr. Anon, a dwarf who courts her, and becomes a living curiosity in the household of the wealthy Mrs. Monnerie. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
