When will the three of us meet again? In Theodor Fontane's famous ballad "The Bridge at Tay," the parents anxiously wait in the bridge house for the train that will soon pass over the recently constructed Firth of Tay Bridge, regarded as a marvel of engineering. On the train is their son Johnie, who is coming to visit them for Christmas. The volume includes other classics of the genre such as August Kopisch's "Heinzelmännchen," Eduard Mörike's "Ghosts of the Mummelsee," Friedrich Schiller's "The Diver," and many more. All are vividly and expressively illustrated by Burkhard Neie: Perfect for viewing and rereading!.
