Publisher's Synopsis
This is not a fairy tale in the usual sense. There are no princesses, no golden eggs, and no happy endings. A brooding portrait of a solitary post-apocalyptic existence, The Fairy Tale of the World is nonetheless compelling. The story was originally conceived by a brilliant young German writer, Georg B³chner, who died tragically in 1837 at the age of twenty-three. His dark vision reflects the social injustice of his time.
