(4) YA Translated by Anthea Bell. Bambert, a reclusive dwarf, sends eleven stories into the world via hot-air balloons. When they are returned from various locations, he rewrites them to suit the region in which they were found. The muddled story of Bambert makes an odd framing device, but the brief, often dark, fantasy-laced tales are individually intriguing.
