Somewhere in the vast dreamland stands a rock. Wind and rain have smoothed it over time. On it grows a withered little tree that looks like a weathered umbrella. In the rock, there is a hole, the entrance to a bear's cave. Here they are again, all the heroes from dreamland: Koko, the bear with the crooked nose, his friend Kiri, the wise white bird, the plant conjurer, the old tiger tomcat, Rikko, the gentle dragon, the eight hungry beetles, and many more. They embark on fantastic adventures with the magic umbrella and the flying carpet; they learn that wishing correctly is so difficult because it is so simple and, in any case, takes a lot, a lot of time. Each of these stories has captivated countless children as picture books; children who have since grown up and are passing on the magic of Erwin Moser's lovingly told and illustrated stories to their own families.
