Features: William Hauff was a renowned German novelist and poet of the 19th century. He passed away at the age of only twenty-five, and his time devoted to literary creation was extremely short—yet he left behind a body of poetry, novels, and fairy tales that have had a certain impact on literary history. His fairy tale writing also brought him worldwide fame. Hauff's fairy tales are rich in thought, as he hoped his works would help nurture children into individuals who are good at utilizing their rights and possess strong personalities. These works can either pique the interest of children or evoke strong resonance within them. Even adults enjoy the profound thoughts and vivid plots in his fairy tales.
