I used to be in total love with little Mook when I was about 8. It's actually one of the first books I remember reading; if my memory serves me well, it was a colouring book that included the story as well.
Interesting rough contemporary of Brothers Grimm. A different twist on the German producers of fairy tales during this period.

Definitely a 'must' of German literature, though. I was moved to find out, though, that the author, who I'd always pictured as a worthy old gentleman, died before reaching twenty-five years of age.
