Statement
In the mid-19th century Heinrich Hoffman wrote and illustrated a series of morality tales for children. The result in each is so disastrous they’re wonderfully inappropriate for children. This contemporary series of flag, tunnel and pop-up books contain original illustrations by Marianne R. Petit. Versions are available with customized LED lighting and embedded electronics.
