5.0 out of 5 stars
A warm story of Germany and rabbits,
By Sacto Teacher (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Esterhazy: The Rabbit Prince (Hardcover)
This is the most charming book I have come across in years, and I can't wait to read the original in German (available now on amazon.de for about $30.) The combination of master storytelling by Dische and Enzensberger and Sowa's richly surreal art is mesmerizing. The story is light, simple, and very rewarding. You will return again and again to this story of a rabbit traveling through modern Germany. It brings back memories of my time in both East and West Germany, around the wall. When I read it, I smile and feel better.

Charming story....amazing illustrations!,

This review is from: Esterhazy (Hardcover)
The story of little Prince Esterhazy is so simple and charming, sure to delight young and old. We bought the book because we are huge fans of Michael Sowa's art. The illustrations are at the same time surreal and precious; a bunny trying on boxer shorts? A bunny in the bathtub? Fantastic! And the poignant story of a bunny finding love as the wall falls in Berlin is too sweet.

This review is from: Esterhazy: The Rabbit Prince (Hardcover)
Charming and utterly fascinating perspective of the life of rabbits put across in a childish and fantastical matter of fact way with a sinister undertone that adults would understand. Lovely story.
