Wolf
Min morfar havde store, varme, rynkede hænder, og hans hår var helt hvidt og meget flot. Han havde også nogle store, grå, buskede øjenbryn og grå hårduske, der strittede ud af både næseborene og ørerne. Som om han var fuld af pels indeni - ulvepels - og derfor tænkte jeg på ham som Ulvemanden.
I den her bog kan du læse nogle af Ulvemandens fortællinger. De handler blandt andet om en helt blå pige om en underlig mand med et djævelsk ur om en grevinde med et hul i hånden om K. J. Hansens 666 cykelture og mange andre ting.

This book is in danish (and probably won't be translated into english any time soon), but still, I am going to do this review in english since most users of Goodreads speak english. Hopefully, this will some day be translated.
The Story...
This book is build like a novel, with chapters, yet, each chapter is pretty much a shortstory in itself. I say pretty much, because each chapter is connected by way of the narrator and his grandpa (the wolfman).
The narrator (a young boy) has a grandpa called Hans Wolf, a grandpa that also looks very much like a wolf (and acts like a wolf, if you ask me). He is a nice grandpa who likes to tell stories to his grandson. These stories are wonderfully weird and also very clever (the grandpa surely wants to teach his grandson about life in his own clever way). There is the story of the blue girl whom the doctors could find nothing wrong with, and the story about the metalman who became evil. There are 13 stories in this book.
All these stories are connected by the wolfman (which is what the narrator calls his grandpa) who seem to have experienced most of them.
My Judgment...
This is a great book and not just for children. There are lots of literary references that are not that difficult to find (or understand) - perfect for using in school. It certainly made me laugh more than once, especially the story about K. J. Hansens 666 bike rides. My absolute favorite!
These stories remind me of the writing of Roald Dahl, but also of Tim Burton's Big Fish. And comes highly recommended!
