Nabokov described this novella, written in Paris in 1939 but only published
twenty years later, as 'the first little throb of Lolita'. The plot is similar:
a middle-aged man wedding an unattractive widow in order to indulge his
paedophilic obsession with her daughter.
However, The Enchanter has an utterly different atmosphere, as time, place and
even names remain a mystery. Nabokov transforms his protagonist's attempts to
lull his twelve-year-old step-daughter into a state of 'enchantment' into a
graceful, chilling fairytale.
