Friedrich Wolf's "Fairy Tales for Big and Small Children" has been enchanting fairy tale lovers with its timeless charm for over 75 years. The imaginative animal stories featuring the Easter Bunny Purzel Weissfell or Schnurzel, the little one who only wants to say no, continue to captivate today. Without a raised finger, the clever animal heroes encourage self-confidence and promote tolerance, like the seagull Leila and the woodpecker Pit Pikus, who become friends despite their many differences. Wolf's most famous tale, "The Christmas Goose Auguste," adds to this wonderful treasure of stories for rereading and rediscovery. Friedrich Wolf was a writer, doctor, anti-fascist, fighter against Paragraph 218, satirist, journalist, and returned to East Germany from Soviet asylum after the war. An important author, an important book - now available again.
