When he was 40, the renowned Bohemian novelist and short story writer FRANZ KAFKA (1883–1924), who never married and had no children, was strolling through Stieglitz Park in Berlin, when he chanced upon a young girl crying her eyes out because she had lost her favourite doll. She and Kafka looked for the doll without success. Kafka told her to meet him there the next day and they would look again.
