Captivating and eerie, yet also filled with lucky children and clever characters, are the fairy tales from Switzerland. Dirk Vaihinger has now compiled the most beautiful, exciting, and funniest stories. In a Swiss variety, they come together from Ticino, the Grisons mountains, the Romandy region, and the central plateau: the earth and mountain gnomes, the glacier maidens and dragon slayers, the Türliwirli, the beautiful Infinita and the Jeger-Dovi, the cunning Wildfraueli and the black Wasserbutz. For today's children’s ears and eyes, Dirk Vaihinger has adapted the old stories to meet modern needs, and Doris Lecher has lovingly illustrated them.
