The Nürnberg Stove

An artistic fairy tale is the conscious creation of a conscious creator. It is a fantasy with fairy-tale elements. In her creation of this book author has used the familiar motives of a dangerous journey and the achievement of a near-impossible goal to convey her own personal vision of the relationships of people to themselves and to each other. The stove itself is simply a stage prop, a main ornament if you will, around which author invents detail about a very sensitive young boy and his response to the problems and pressures of life.
