The Zapperdockel stands around in the landscape and enjoys life. Then the Wock comes along and snaps at him. The little one promptly bursts into tears, and the Wock's mocker's heart softens. After all, he's not such a bad fellow after all ... What he comes up with to coax a smile out of the teary-eyed Zapperdockel is pure poetry, captured and continued in dreamlike, wide-ranging images. The story of the two unequal friends enchants young and old. It has been translated and awarded several times, and brought to the stage in several versions. Now this wonderful book is available again!
