Eduard Mörike's "Stuttgarter Hutzelmännlein," one of the few art fairy tales of the Biedermeier period, is a fantastic narrative full of magic and wordplay, culminating in the realization that personal happiness, rather than magic, is what truly matters. Mörike's delight in combining the impossible with the natural and his virtuoso love of language have been vividly reimagined by the illustrator Felix Müller, who uses strong colors and forms to appeal to today's readers. His powerful, vibrant colored pencil drawings also transport the enchanting fairy tale with a wink directly into the present.
