Books can be attributed to "Anonymous" for several reasons:
* They are officially published under that name * They are traditional stories not attributed to a specific author * They are religious texts not generally attributed to a specific author
Books whose authorship is merely uncertain should be attributed to Unknown.
This was an interesting read. The first story was definitely more engaging than the second, however, it was still very good. It attempts to provide guidance to developing a life of interior prayer, through the story. It provides some good insight to the Orthodox faith, as well as a surprising view of faith in Russia during the 19th century. The appendices, providing some insight into the views of the Orthodox fathers, was VERY intriguing.
