Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer. Jim Knopf und die Wilde 13. Sammelband

A wonderful story, for young readers ostensibly, but Ende has, as always, put together the German language masterfully, and painted a picture of a world so vivid in its imagination, so full of surprises, so believable yet so absurd that it's hard to even think about putting down the book for the sheer delight of it all. What blessing that there's a sequel.
