I remember the smell of my dad's old copy of this. It is one of my earliest memories, and a book I loved unreservedly. I didn't even know there was a book that came before till much later. I think I need to re-read this one.

Basing a movie on it did this book no favors. Instead, no one knows it exists -- or if they hear of it, they assume it was written for children. This is a novel. Salten wrote it for a grownup audience, though he probably wouldn't have minded the idea of children reading it.
