The story of the diligent housekeeper is one of the most famous and rightly indestructible children's texts in Germany, and it has been part of the literary canon for generations. But who is the chubby Heinz, who unmistakably enters the scene at half-past twelve, who eats for two until three, who "does homework between five and six," and who is helped by the little witch with her witch's multiplication? Full of linguistic wit and an infectious joy for storytelling, Jens Sparschuh has continued one of the most beautiful German children's rhymes. The illustrations by Julia Neuhaus are simply stunning, accompanying the hardworking, contemporary witch on her daily journey. The collages are alive with intricate details, in images that seem to move, especially when depicting the charming witch dressed in bright green.
