This book contains four unusual and wonderful stories, full of magic, adventure, and worldly wisdom: "Dwarf Nose," "Caliph-Afist," "The False Prince," and "Little Muck." Wilhelm Hauff's work harmoniously blends motifs from European and Eastern fairy tales: kings, dukes, shahs, merchants, and tailors are familiar characters in his works. The action takes place in the cities and towns of Germany or the lands of the East, filled with the aromas of spices and warm sunshine. This is what makes his tales so expressive, memorable, and still relevant today. Wonderful, colorful illustrations by renowned Russian artist Maxim Mitrofanov. The large, easy-to-read font will help children read this story independently and with their parents. Suitable for preschool and primary school ages.
