One of the few books that can be used day in and day out. Allerleirauh is undoubtedly the most beautiful and well-known collection of children's rhymes in this country. Following the two famous models, Des Knaben Wunderhorn and the Oxford Nursery Rhyme Book, Hans Magnus Enzensberger first compiled it in 1961, adding hundreds of atmospheric illustrations. A total of 777 beautiful children's rhymes, both old and new, well-known and forgotten, adorned with 391 woodcuts, have come together for this book, which Enzensberger has placed under a promising motto: Poetry is a staple food, and the children's rhyme is part of the poetic minimum for existence. This is what gives it its indestructible life. Thus, Allerleirauh can truly be recommended to everyone, both adult and young readers. The new edition of this classic offers the full experience.
