The Gold-Children


Book Description

A fisherman caught a golden fish. And you know what follows. The golden fish gave one wish to the fisherman in return for him letting her go. And so he did. He wished for a castle and he got it. The only thing he could not do was to say where he got his fortune from. But he did not keep his promise and the castle disappeared. He caught the fish again. He got a new wish and he broke the promise one more time. He caught the fish a third time. And he was not granted a wish. Instead the fish asked him to take her home and cut her into six pieces. A great and unbelievable magic followed after that. But you have to read "The Gold-Children" to find out what it is.

The popularity of their collected tales has endured well; they have been translated into more than 100 languages, and remain in print in the present day. This is a text to be appreciated by young and old alike; extraordinary for its literary as well as artistic significance.
