Kr težka zgodba o enem lutkarju, ki ga preganjajo, ker je kokr prepovedano pripovedovanje zgodb - in že začne brez rok, potem mu odsekajo še noge na koncu ga pa obesijo :(
Zanimivo mi je blo kako ni blo prov nč čudno, ko je pa potem še kot okostnjak še vedno pripovedoval zgodbe...

Ik heb het gevoel dat heel veel van de nuance verloren is gegaan bij de vertaling van dit boek. Het voelt vlak in het Nederlands. Met namen die precies letterlijk zijn vertaald.

Daardoor komt het verhaal nooit echt helemaal binnen. Zonde.

El comic tiene partes bastante crudas, así que no se lo recomendaría a todo el mundo. Mezcla situaciones bastante realistas, con situaciones mágicas, que puede despertar un poco.

I loved this! The story and the illustrations were beautifully done!
