Hans Christian Andersen Medalist Lisbeth Zwerger cunningly illustrates 11 folktales about Till Eulenspiegel, the famous sixteenth-century German folk hero, popular in legend as a shrewd trickster. In this handsome reissue, she chronicles Till"s pranks from his triple dunking at his baptism, to his funeral, at which he leaves a last trick for his mourners. Zwerger"s celebrated wit and insouciant style are the perfect complements to the antics of this notorious merrymaker.
