Without the fairy tales of Wilhelm Hauff, it’s impossible to imagine our childhood. Who doesn’t remember the funny caliph who almost got turned into a stork forever, the magic shoes that run by themselves, and the donkey ears of Little Muk? Or the tale of little Jacob, turned by an evil sorceress into the ugly Nosed Dwarf… These fairy tales, steeped in Eastern flavor, mysterious and slightly frightening, sad yet at the same time full of humor, teach everyday wisdom… They teach that wealth, endless luck, and idleness will not make a person happy, but kindness, responsiveness, and hard work will help overcome any temptations, troubles, and trials!
