Synopsis In this bestseller, which was first published in 1943, author Hathaway recalls her horrific experience of being diagnosed with spinal tuberculosis in the early 20th century and being subjected to the era's crude treatment procedures. Between the ages of 5 and 15, while strapped to an immobilizing device, she developed a highly creative imagination. Despite Hathaway's family's low expectations of her, she achieved independence, buying her own house and becoming a writer.

Industry Reviews "Hathaway commits a revolutionary act, albeit a quiet one. As she defies the convention that makes the writer's body off-limits, she asserts that even a body like hers has a story to tell....THE LITTLE LOCKSMITH is therefore more than a literary curiosity or autobiographical case study: it is a consciously crafted work of art." Yale Review
