Re: [Cz-L] Die fromme Helene

In tradition with German tales these books for children are ferocious.
 Just read the Grimm tales.
  But Busch's morale is that being bad does not pay , and the pranks
 - the Schtreiche- are hilarious.
   The best I liked " Tobias Knopp die Abenteuer eines Junggesellen".
