How did the little wren get its name? Why is the plaice’s mouth crooked, and why do beans have a dark seam? This collection of five-lesser known fairy tales by the Brothers Grimm tells of the secrets and the hidden life of animals and plants in a bizarre way. Illustrated and reinterpreted by five artists, the fairy tales provide surprising explanations for the nature and meaningfulness of our world and thus provide entertaining reading pleasure.
The contributions were created in a two-day workshop and during an exchange with the Polish Grimm specialist Professor Eliza Karminska (University of Kassel). The publication appeared in cooperation with the Schauenburger Märchenwache as a special issue of the Breitenbacher Bilderblättchen. It was printed in three spot colors by the Boxan printing house in Kassel-Waldau.

It’s such a thing with diplomacy in the animal kingdom. You often have different views, but generally try not to step on anyone’s paws or claws too much. But what if the mouse is a racist? And the weasel looks so damn delicious?

In her latest book “Schappi”, Anna Haifisch blurs the boundaries between humans and animals in a subtle way. In five collected short stories carnivores and herbivores meet at a nerve-wracking congress, we get to know a merciless, art-collecting lizard, meet dancing ostriches and a melancholy meditating octopus. With the usual wit and charm, Anna Haifisch tells of the everyday struggle in the steppe or on the drawing table, of self-imposed isolation and friendship. At the end of the day there is hope, even for crying weasels.

Life is so good! I’m happy to share this beautiful day with you my friends.
