Felix Müller

Eduard Mörike's Stuttgart Hutzelmännlein, one of the few Biedermeier art fairy tales, is a fantastic story full of magic and wordplay, at the end of which is the realisation: It is not magic that is worth striving for, but personal happiness. Mörike's joy in combining the impossible with the natural and his virtuoso love of language have been re-visualised by the illustrator Felix Müller in a strong language of colour and form for a contemporary readership. His powerful, luminous coloured pencil drawings also transport the enchanting fairy tale directly into the present with a wink.'
