Märchengut

The Best Fairy Tales

A fairy-tale treasure trove

Thirty cherry-picked stories by Andersen and Grimm come to life in this lovingly illustrated bilingual edition. The interweaving of English and German, allows readers to playfully become learn another language, and also experience how these stories inherently transform in the words of another culture.

More than 220 illustrations bring light to children's eyes and charme adults. 460 large format pages designed on fine sustainably produced paper guarantee hours to fly. The cover itself betrays attention to detail with its elaborate embossing of the title illustration of Little Red Riding Hood.

We decided to produce a second edition of 800 books due to the high demand and despite the insanely increased paper costs.

The Märchengut Cobblers

Once upon a time, there were two neighbours who, despite a certain age difference, came to appreciate each other’s company and enjoyed sharing pleasantly tranquil moments. After a time of living close to each other, as life goes, their ways parted for a while, the younger woman travelled the world. One fine day, however, their paths crossed once more; and as they exchanged stories, they noticed their kindred passion for old fairy tales and their characters. At that moment, a spark ignited between them and a book project started taking shape, which was soon named Märchengut. Five years of diligent drawing, preparation and composition followed. And, if you are reading this today, it is in your hands, ready to tell you its own stories...
