Summary: Zwerger's delicious sense of humor breathes life into Hauff
Comment: Lizbeth Zwerger's drawings are deceivingly spare and simple. When you actually take the time to obseve what she accomplishes with her work it's like discovering the brilliant subtlty of a Zen Garden with a dash of raw childhood thrown in. I have no doubt that when critics look back in years to come, she will be talked about as some who has trult MASTERED her craft. In this version of Hauff's story there are sorts of examples of her clever interpretations of the story. For example: when the spell of the goose is broken and she changed back in a woman, Zwerger rendering shows the woman stitting on a chair and her silluette is that of the goose! Brilliant.

Summary: Dwarf Nose is an excellent and inventive original fairy tale
Comment: Dwarf Nose captivated my young children. Wilhelm Hauff was a brilliant talented original fairy tale writer who was a contemporary of the Brothers Grimm. This book is an original fairy tale and not a "knock-off" It's possible that both authors were drawing from oral literature of the period. I thought it was engrossing, my kids loved it and Zwergers illustrations are fantastic

Summary: This story was first written by the brothers Grimm.
Comment: The story I read by the brothers Grim is a highly intricate tale revealing a profound problem, viz., that of identity crises, but written as a fairy tale it is a wonderful story which captivates the imagination of pre-teenagers, in the telling of it. The old witch involved in it was named Krauterweis, and not "Herbwise". I suspect that your book is a poor, adulterated copy of the elegant work I read so many years ago.
