In de laatste jaren van haar leven sprak Hella S. Haasse regelmatig over verhalen die ze had geschreven maar die ze niet meer kon vinden. Ze zocht er vergeefs naar in laden en kasten. Pas na haar overlijden op 29 september 2011 werden die verhalen in haar nalatenschap gevonden. Het zijn prachtig geschreven, typische Haasse-vertellingen, vol duistere, geheimzinnige gebeurtenissen en onverklaarbare verschijningen.

Hella S. Haasse (1918 - 2011) was born in Batavia, modern-day Jakarta. She moved to the Netherlands after secondary school. In 1945 she debuted with a collection of poems, entitled Stroomversnelling (Momentum). She made her name three years later with the novella given out to mark the Dutch Book Week, Oeroeg (The Black Lake, 1948). As with much of her work, this tale of the friendship between a Dutch and an Indonesian boy has gained the status of a classic in the Netherlands. Titles such as Het woud der verwachting (In a Dark Wood Wandering, 1949), Een nieuwer testament (Threshold of Fire, 1966) and Mevrouw Bentinck of Onverenigbaarheid van karakter (Mrs Bentinck or Irreconcilable in Character, 1978) have been greatly enjoyed by several generations.
