As Halloween approaches, there will be thousands of people who wear the costume of this famous female character from literature who has had cartoons and live action movies made about her. Th thing is, she is based off a real person. A person the author knew very well. This person was about 10 at the time. Our author was a grown man. He was allowed to get close to this little girl because the girl's father shared the same profession as our author. Apparently the two families were very close, until they weren't. The author was obsessed with this little girl and wanted to spend as much time with her as possible. It got to the point where the girl's parents feared for the safety of the girl and broke off contact with the author, and it was sudden. One event, and the next day, no contact ever. No one to this day is entirely sure what happened, but the author wrote his book about her.
