The timeless classic about winter's confusions and mix-ups is now available in a single volume with the rediscovered Kästner story "Inferno in the Hotel." This book brings together for the first time Erich Kästner's worldwide success "Three Men in the Snow" and the story "Inferno in the Hotel," which was published only in a newspaper in 1927 and later served as the basis for the novel. It also includes a contribution from Kästner expert Sylvia List, who provides insightful information on how the inferno evolved into the cheerful, timelessly modern comedy of errors that has been adapted into films multiple times and has delighted both young and old readers for over 80 years.
