Relation As Books Die kleine Hexe
- Hello Manny, do you recognize me? - No, who are you? - Come on. - No idea. - I'm your subconscious. - Oh... right. It's true, you did look familiar. Well, what've you been doing? - Thinking about sex, mostly. Let me tell you my latest fantasy. There's-- - Subconscious, this is not an appropriate time! People are listening! Have you no sense of shame? - No. - Okay... I guess you wouldn't. So, uh, what else have you been doing? Read anything recently? - Same as you, Manny, same as you. - What did you think of Die kleine Hexe? - What did you think of it, Manny? - Oh, I don't know. It improved my German. I thought it was a bit girly, to be honest. - But what did you think it was about? - Nothing much. A cute story about a kind witch who decides to be different and go around helping people. - Honestly, Manny. You really thought that was what it was about? - Well, what else? And don't say sex. - I wasn't going to. - Alright, Subconscious, what's your theory then? Since you're obviously dying to tell me. - It's about the Third Reich. - Jesus Christ, Subby, every time we read a book in German you tell me it's about the Third Reich. You said the German translation of The Little Prince was about the Third Reich. - But this one really is! - Look, 45 people on Goodreads have reviewed this book, and not one of them has even hinted at connections with the Third Reich. - Okay, let's walk you through it. The heroine of the book is a witch who lives with a raven called Abraxas. Now who is he? - Her familiar? - Yes, yes, but what does he represent? Think Pinocchio, Manny. - Oh, er, right. Jiminy Cricket. The raven's always giving her moral advice. He's her conscience. - Pretty slow today, Manny. And what happens when the witch takes her conscience's advice? - Well... she gets in a lot of trouble. It turns out that in witch society you're supposed to be evil. So someone who acts morally is in fact a very bad witch. - Now Manny, where and when was this book written? - Germany, 1957. - And had anything recently happened there that might remind you of the witch society? - Ah... well... look, I see where you're going, but I don't buy it. Too much of a stretch. - Have it your own way, Manny, have it your own way. I can show you the facts, but I can't make you believe them. - Look, Subconscious, can we talk about something else? - Absolutely! Let's get back to my fantasy. There's these two hot girls...Specify Books Concering Die kleine Hexe

Die Kleine Hexe -- 2013 Kindle EditionWhen I was a young child in Germany, Otfried Preußler's 1957 children's classic Die kleine Hexe (The Little Witch in English translation) and how she learns to be a successful spell caster and equally to also rebel and actively stand against the older witches for whom being a good witch means by nature and necessity being a curmudgeonly and evil one, this was one of my favourite bedtime stories (a lovely and imaginative tale, totally in tune with childhoodThis is the book I learned reading with in school. Loved it!
This is funny and relatable book to everyone because we all sometimes feel like we don't belong and sometimes everything that we do doesn't to seem make sense.
4.75Such a great story! I loved reading about the adventures of the little witch and her smart raven. Especially adored the end :) will surely read this again sometime.
I'm so happy to have discovered Otfried Preusßler! This book is an enjoyable adventure. Quite similar in style to Roald Dahl (even the illustrations have similar style) except Die Kleine Hexe is a cute and mischievous little witch girl. Too bad the older witches are boring old bullies. Die Kleine Hexe should just forget about them, and party every Walpurgisnacht with den Rabe Abraxas and the baseborn muggles um I mean the human kids instead!
A read aloud with Hazel- shes super into witches. She enjoyed it, I thought some parts were cute and some were less so but I enjoyed reading it aloud.
This was one of my favorite books as a child. And it's still fantastic.
