German folk legends

This collection includes the most famous legends born in the Middle Ages in Germany: about the rat catcher of Hamelin, who saved the city from the rats that had infested it, but did not receive the agreed payment for it; about Lohengrin - the beautiful knight of the Swan, who appears from time to time where it is necessary to protect the weak and offended; about the river fairy Lorelei, singing a seductive song on a rock, luring swimmers into a destructive whirlpool; about the warlock-magician Doctor Faustus, who sold his soul to the devil, meanwhile exalted and poeticized by the popular imagination. These legends were brilliantly retold for children by the famous children's writer Sofya Prokofieva. And the drawings for them - unusually expressive, illustrating in detail the course of the story - were created by the inimitable Nika Golts.
