Book Description:
Der brave kleine Otto aus gutem Hause freundet sich mit dem Arbeiterkind Jupp an, weil der eine ganz besondere Großmutter hat - eine Großmutter, die Märchen erzählen kann. Bald träumen sich die Buben selbst ins Märchenreich und erleben allerlei Abenteuer.

Ewers' Märchen sind vor allem erst mal anders, ein bisschen subversiv, ein bisschen satirisch, ein Vergnügen für kleine und große Leser und Zuhörer.
