This volume of short stories, Spell, holds a special place in the collected works of writer, actress and theater director, Asta Willmann (1916-1984). The plots of the eight stories unfold in different parts of the world yet they are united by the same theme, that of personal freedom. Asta Willmann's characters typically act on impulse, thus disregarding the prejudices of the surrounding society. This lends her stories an easy-going, affectionate, and humorous tone.
