Wilhelm Hauff: Caliph Stork

Caliph Hasid, the ruler of Baghdad, accidentally buys a magic powder from a traveling merchant, with the help of which a person can turn into any animal or bird. Together with the vizier, they decide to turn into storks in order to eavesdrop on bird conversations. But woe to those who forget the right spell! After all, he will lose his human form forever. The fairy tale of the famous German storyteller Wilhelm Hauff with magnificent illustrations by the artist Anton Lomaev plunges the reader into the enchanting world of the medieval East, full of miracles, sudden transformations and unexpected rescues. For his work on this book, the artist Anton Lomaev was awarded the prize of the All-Russian competition of book illustrations "The Image of the Book" in the nomination "The Best Illustrations for Works for Children and Teenagers".
