Ute Krause
The Lion in the Attic

Published by Diogenes as Der Löwe auf dem Dachboden

If there was one thing which Karla and her family could do well, it was to make a noise. To make sure that they all had enough room to make a noise, they moved into a tall, narrow house in which each member of the family had a floor all to themselves. But the most interesting thing about the house was the attic, for it was there that Karla found a cello with which she could make the most wonderful noise! But that wasn’t all: at the very far end of the attic was a rusty door. When Karla finally managed to open it she found a wild garden watched over by a stone lion. The lion showed Karla a mysterious world: the world of silence and soft sounds.

Quotes

»The fact that this subtle yet topical story comes across in such a cheerful and entertaining way owes much to Ute Krause’s splendid illustrations of her own text. At times the pictures are so breathtaking that one could easily imagine that the young Tomi Ungerer had a hand in them, and then suddenly one is reminded of SempĂ© or the wild romanticism of – well, of Ute Krause, of course.«Deutsche Welle
