Hans Fallada (1893-1947) was a German writer with a difficult character and an even more difficult fate. He wrote his fairy tales in 1938, during a period of agonizing choice between the need to emigrate from fascist Germany and the desire to stay in his home country. All the more amazing, then, that his fairy tales—everyday yet magical—leave such a bright impression.
An unlucky hen saved a princess; the day when everything happened upside down turned out to be a dream; a hedgehog saved a person from a viper bite and became their faithful friend; the terrible guests, a bear and a fox, got their comeuppance, and the cunning rat failed to gain a person's trust—as it should be!
After reading Hans Fallada's fairy tales, you just want to say: everything will be fine!
And the author's optimism is reinforced by the magical illustrations of the imaginative and exceptionally witty Gennady Yasinsky.
The book will appeal to children from 4 years old.
