A fairy tale that deserves so much more attention!
I stumbled upon this story whilst reading Andrew Lang's collection "The Violet Fairy Book" and fell in love with it. Imagine how pleased I was to discover that Wilhelm Hauff's awesome story had also been translated by Doris Orgel AND illustrated by the great Maurice Sendak. Hauff died at a young age, but in Germany the tales he wrote are as famous as Grimm's. This is not only a great story, but ...

Zwerger's delicious sense of humor breathes life into Hauff
Lizbeth Zwerger's drawings are deceivingly spare and simple. When you actually take the time to obseve what she accomplishes with her work it's like discovering the brilliant subtlty of a Zen Garden with a dash of raw childhood thrown in. I have no doubt that when critics look back in years to come, she will be talked about as some who has trult MASTERED her craft. In this version of Hauff's ...
