Publisher's Synopsis

90 classic titles celebrating 90 years of Penguin Books

Of course, very few people go through the gate and abandon the beautiful phenomenon of the outside world for the interior reality that they intuit…


A visitor to a zoo discovers he can understand the animals talking, a young man turns into a mountain and a bird guides a boy to another planet in this selection of dream-like and visionary fairy tales from the great German-Swiss master.
