deals Originally published in German as Neues vom Rauber Hotzenplotz.
The robber Hotzenplotz returns, as wicked as ever! One day, when Kasperl's grandmother is cooking sausages and sauerkraut, someone breaks into her kitchen. He's wearing a blue coat, silver buttons and a red collar. He is also wearing a helmut, so Grandmother is sure it must be Chief Inspector Alois Dimplemoser. But she is wrong. It is the robber Hotzenplotz who has just escaped from prison. Grandmother faints away...
Otfried Preussler has an established place among writers of fanstasy for younger children, as the reception of his earlier books has shown. The Times Literary Supplement wrote of The Robber Hotzenplots "There is not a solemn moment in Preussler's riotous extravaganza," and Library Journal said: "Here are humor, action and enough nonsense to delight young readers. A prize-winner in his native Germany, Herr Preussler's books have been translated into five languages.
Book is in very good condition. Has a name written on inside cover, and some wear to edging. Please see photos. First English translation library edition.
