About This Book

A lively children's tale centers on a woodcarver, his wife, and their foster daughter who create and care for a wooden puppet, Kasperle, whose departure launches a string of episodic adventures. Kasperle travels through forests and villages and visits a castle, undertakes tasks such as herding geese and attending school, faces new dangers, experiences comic and spooky incidents including being taken for a ghost, and forms friendships along the way, before returning to the forest home; the episodes emphasize play, community ties, and the comfort of belonging.
