Annotation: In the spring of 1922, several months after completing "Siddhartha," Hermann Hesse wrote a fairy tale that was also a love story, inspired by the woman who was to become his second wife. That story, "Pictor' s Metamorphoses," is the centerpiece of this anthology of Hesse' s luminous short fiction. Based on "The Arabian Nights" and the work of the Brothers Grimm, the nineteen stories collected here represent a half century of Hesse's short writings. They display the full range of Hesse' s lifetime fascination with fantasy--as dream, fairy tale, satire, or allegory.
