You shouldn’t be impolite with unpleasant old ladies and mock little people, otherwise in an instant you can turn from a merry and handsome man into a dwarf, or even worse - get donkey ears or a pear-shaped nose! Magic is magic, but magic words and good behavior have not been canceled. Maybe that’s why the fairy tales of Wilhelm Hauff easily overcame two centuries and still delight both children and adults. The collection includes the fairy tales “Caliph the Stork”, “Little Muk” and “Dwarf Nose” translated by Mikhail Salye. Vivid illustrations by Tatyana Nikitina convey atmosphere of magic and enchantment.
