How fun is that: a German fable from the 14th century (very) freely edited by artist and children's bookmaker Oliver Jeffers. In Fausto's Fortune, main character Fausto is a greedy overbearing man who never has enough. Oliver Jeffers has cleverly translated his Fausto fable to our time.
Although this book is probably not for everyone and there will be many 5-year-olds who prefer to hear or look at something quite different, we think the book is very special and beautiful. The mini monsters may still have to grow into it ;)
