(2) K-3 Translated by Anthea Bell. Originally published in the United States as 'The Traveling Musicians', Fischer's version remains a fine tribute to the simple yet spellbinding quality of the Grimms' classic tale. An afterword in this edition provides information about the renowned Swiss illustrator and describes his use of minimalism to portray the band of animal musicians who cleverly outwit a band of robbers.
