Eine düstere, atmosphärische Geschichte eines Waisenjungen, der sich gegen einen Zaubermeister durchsetzen will. Es geht um Freundschaft, Liebe und darum, für sich und seine Träume zu kämpfen.

Mir hat es sehr gut gefallen. Preußler schafft es, eine unheimliche Stimmung zu schaffen und Spannung zu erzeugen.

A book my mother always talks about every now and then, apparently this has even been read to me to no avail! Years later and adult me finally has read this book in its Dutch translation. It is a magical place, and despite it being a children's book, it has a lot to offer to all ages. The book reads like a dark and twisted fairy tale, like you put dark tinted glasses over your cinderella like stories. It's mood and themes are very sombre, but it leaves you positively dreamy after the ride.
