Industry Reviews "...[A] summit and jewel of German narrative prose." Bookjacket - Hermann Hesse
"[T]his edition--beautifully produced, appropriately illustrated with intriguing woodcuts, and relatively inexpense--is the perfect encouragement, even those who know German, to read and re-read Hebel himself. And for those who do not, John Hibberd has done his work so well that he can justly claim that here 'great discoveries await the English reader.'
