This unique literary piece takes readers on a journey inside the mind of a man, where various personified thoughts, such as the Thought of Somebody Else's Wealth, the Thought of Beauty, and the Thought of the Girl He Loves, interact within a surreal, semi-circular chamber. The play delves into themes of love, beauty, and the eternal struggle between mundane concerns and higher ideals. Through its allegorical narrative, Malleson invites readers to reflect on the inner workings of the human mind, the nature of thoughts, and the spiritual growth that shapes our lives.<br /> <br /> ==Translations and adaptations==<br /> <br /> ==Performance history in South Africa==<br /> <br /> 1920: Staged by [[Minna Freund]] with ''[[Paddly Pools]]'' in December, featuring her junior students.<br /> <br /> ==Sources==<br /> https://www.amazon.co.uk/Little-White-Thought-Fantastic-Scrap/dp/B01MYCB2ZG<br /> <br /> [[Walter Greyvenstein|Greyvenstein, Walter]] 1988.
