Die Biene Maja und ihre Abenteuer #1.3
Der Grashüpfer
Die Biene Maja hat es sich auf ihrem Flug in die Welt gerade in einem Baumloch gemütlich gemacht, da trifft sie auf einen merkwürdigen Gesellen: hager, grün und mit unendlich langen Hinterbeinen - ein Grashüpfer ist's. Schockschwerernot, und der hält sich für eine Wespe...
Dieser Tag bringt aber noch eine höchst bemerkenswerte Begegnung: Auf einem Kastanienblatt läßt sich neben Maja die Fliege Puck nieder, eine recht eingebildete Person. Doch sie kennt die Menschen gut, und das interessiert Maja brennend. Ob sie wohl bald ein solches Wesen kennenlernen wird?

About the author
Waldemar Bonsels
122 books14 followersWaldemar Bonsels was a German writer of children's books.
Though he wrote only one children's book in the strict sense, Die Biene Maja (Maya the Bee), another work of his, People in the Sky (Himmelsvolk) -- even if not a children's book per se -- has a much deeper mystical layer showing the unity of all creation and its relationship to God. There are a number of novels and shorter stories dealing with love as Eros and on the higher level of divine love in the spirit of romanticism (Eros und die Evangelien, Menschenwege, Narren und Helden, etc.), with the relationship between man and nature in a simple life unchanged by modern civilization (Anjekind, etc.) and also including a historical novel from the time of Jesus (Der Grieche Dositos). He travelled extensively in Europe and Asia. Voyage in India (Indienfahrt) is the fruit of one of these travels.
His famous work Die Biene Maja (Maya the Bee) also served the basis for a Croatian opera for children written by Bruno Bjelinski, making Bonsels work known to an international audience, and was adapted as a children's cartoon series by German TV.
