Description
The first authorized biography of Mr Janosch
Everyone knows them: the Tiger and the Bear, the yellowblack striped Tigerduck, and all the other figures created by Janosch. The artist has become a myth himself, because he likes to tell tales about himself as much as he loves to entertain with his stories. And one should never believe everything he says. There it is: the first (auto-)biography of the worldknown author and painter. The book contains several interviews with the artist and an article about the meeting between Astrid Lindgren and Janosch, along with a rich selection of his works. And of course: many pictures of the man himself - working or lying in the hammock.

Author Biography
Janosch (pseudonym for Horst Eckert) was born in 1931 in Upper Silesia (now Poland). His father was an invalid of the local coalmine and Janosch had a rough upbringing influenced by poverty, war, latent alcoholism and the deeply felt threats of the Catholic Church. After the war he moved to West-Germany and became finally an art student at the Munich Academy of Arts. Janosch is famous for his children’s books which were translated into many languages. But he also writes for adults: he is author of several novels and theatre plays.
