Mister Mole

Published by Diogenes as Der Maulwurf Grabowski

Original Title: Der Maulwurf Grabowski

Mister Mole's cosy little basement home beneath a lush green meadow falls victim to city planners and their destructive impact on the environment. And so, Mister Mole is forced to look elsewhere for a new, quiet place to live. In magnificent pictures Luis Murschetz tells the story of Mister Mole, who is driven from his idyllic meadow by the expanding city, the bulldozers and the building machinery, and after an eventful journey finds a new meadow to call his own.
