Hesse's Fairy Tale for Everyone

About This Novel

Hesse's fairy tales do not begin with Once upon a Time, nor do they all feature humans or animals as protagonists. The old mountain, the stubborn wicker chair, the proud boy, the ugly dwarf, all lives, are all living in a mess of inescapable difficulties to find their own endings. This book contains 20 of Hesse's fairy tales. From the first fairy tale "Two Brothers" written when he was ten years old, to "Iris" dedicated to his beloved wife, to "King You of Zhou" derived from the war drama "The Princes of Zhou", Hesse injects thoughts on the purpose of life, criticism of war, and eternal self-exploration into his stories.
