Reviews"Sometimes lush and lyrical, sometimes in the simple language of the parable, these tales elaborate Hesse's concerns with mortality, the unity of life and the isolation of the artist. . . . Quirky and evocative, Hesse's fairy tales stand alone, but also amplify the ideas and utopian longings of such counterculture avatars as Siddhartha and Steppenwolf." -- Publishers Weekly "Hesse unerringly creates the feel of a fairy tale. . . . Lay readers will enjoy this as much as literary specialists." -- Library Journal

Well, I lent it to a friend and while he was reading it, his wife started to as well and they both gave very good review but neither have finished yet
As I said above, I lent it to a friend whose wife also started reading it and they both like it very much however, they only got to three chapters so far. I will read it when I get the book back but I do think it was enjoyable and interesting.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
