THE CASTLE NO. 9
by Ludwig Bemelmans
Bemelmans has a unique gift for absurdity in a unique form. This is a colorful picture story book of the perfect man servant who was engaged by a slightly eccentric owner of a castle who renamed everything, with the result that his castle was burned to the ground before his needs could be interpreted. Enchanting pictures, in and through the text. Pictures and text by the author of Hansi.
