Description

A modest collection of modern fairy tales invites young listeners into a world where everyday struggles become the fabric of enchantment. Each story features familiar creatures—a rose‑bush, a sparrow, a loyal dog—who confront the invisible forces that keep the poor at bay while the rich live untouched. Through gentle dialogue and vivid images, the tales illuminate how generosity, solidarity and questioning the status quo can turn simple acts into powerful resistance.

The narratives are rooted in the lives of working families, showing how even a tiny thorn or a humble feather can challenge a distant master’s authority. By weaving moral lessons with engaging characters, the book encourages children to see the value of cooperation and to ask why the world is unfair. Listeners will find comfort in stories that celebrate ordinary heroes and spark a hopeful curiosity about building a kinder, more equal future.

Hermynia Zur Mühlen

An Austrian writer and translator often remembered as the “Red Countess,” she brought radical politics, sharp wit, and real urgency to fiction and translation alike. Her work ranged from fairy tales and novels to outspoken anti-fascist satire shaped by exile and conviction.
