About the book

Here we meet bald cats and other peculiar creatures – a stroll through the endless world of poetic freedom, including everything from nonsense verses to sonnets, from word plays to allegories. Binette Schroeder has good-humouredly illustrated Michael Ende’s verses.

Press Reviews

Here we have poems full of fine humour, partially pure, incredibly funny gags that are never mediocre or stupid. [...] Two masters of their craft have joined forces for this book, which teenagers, but even more adults, will love.
