A boy stays with his great-grandfather and his grandmother while his sisters are recovering from the measles, and he and his great-grandfather spend their days making up stories and poems.
Meh. This one just didn't catch my attention at all, I'm afraid. Maybe it just hasn't aged well...?

The art work is stunning and unique! The tale of a giant who wanted a new coat so people would stop making fun of him and how a tailor with no customers (no advertising?) solved the deadline problem with his wits. (He had 3 days to finish the coat or the giant would throw him off the mountain!) He also solved his lack-of-customers problem because the giant liked the coat and bragged about it. First published in Germany.
Ein junger Erzähler reist in eine ferne, märchenhafte Inselwelt, wo er auf Dichter, Geschichtenerzähler und wundersame Figuren trifft
I remember that this was one of my favourite picture books when I was a child. James Krüss's picture books are both poetical and visually stunning.
