Praise for Otfried Preussler
“Two definitive aspects of his work stand out: first, a deep rootedness in the oral tradition of the fairy tales and legends of his homeland; and second, the author’s process for creating stories that, as a teacher, he has actually told to his students…[Preussler’s works are] a solid, integral part of children’s literature.”
—Ute Baumann, Bookbird
