the Father of Hotzenplotz is dead

[Nobbse]

the Father of our pink crimelord, the Father of the children books around the bandit Hotzenplotz is dead

Otfried Preußler died some days ago



a final quote by Preußler goes like that (it's quoted at the end of the TV-Clip)

"children are the best and smartest audience You can get as an author, as critics they are grim and incorruptible."

If You ever want to read a book by Preußler, I can absolutely recommend "Krabat" - it's a good fantasy story written like a classic Grimm tale.

By the way, did You know that Gert Fröbe who played the famous 007 villain Goldfinger also played Hotzenplotz? Seems they had to hobbit up his feet



the german ADOMers can look in youtube for freshing up childhood memories, cause the film is online meanwhile...
