In February of 2017 a new edition of this amusing little tale, written by Friedrich Ani and illustrated by Quint Buchholz, was published by Sanssouci. The dreamy-eyed, peripatetic penguin Gregor now experiences his adventures at the South Pole and in Upper Bavaria in a more slender pocket format.<\/p>\n
“An enchantingly ironic story about a low-brow and yea-sayer culture, but also about the courage of being different” (Austrian Library Association, 2006)<\/p>\n
“a stylistic and poignant bravura piece” (Buchkultur, 2006)<\/p>\n
“With Ani and Buchholz, two people have found each other who fit together splendidly, on the humoristic level (charmingly eccentric) and the imaginative (surpassing place and time). … A wonderfully whimsical story.” (S\u00fcdwestpresse, 2007)<\/p>\n
“an encouragement for dreaming, very imaginative and full of subtle wit. And Buchholz’s wonderful pictures, into which one immerses oneself immediately and without any further encouragement.” (Weilheimer Tagblatt, 2006)<\/p>\n
