Fattypuffs and Thinifers Zusammenfassung

Fattypuffs and Thinifers Andre Maurois

'Two Surface-dwellers. Two! He's a Fattypuff and you're a Thinifer. There's no doubt about it!'

This is the tale of two brothers. Edmund is a little on the plump side and Terry is a bit of a rake. When they discover the countries under the Earth they are divided and sent to the warring kingdoms of the Fattypuffs and the Thinifers. The Fattypuffs eat hourly with light snacks in between. The Thinifers like nothing more than discipline and work six days a week. Whether you are a jolly Fattypuff or a driven Thinifer you'll be rooting for the brothers to bring peace to the countries under the Earth.

Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can take the quiz to find out if you're a Fattypuff or a Thinifer!

Fattypuffs and Thinifers Bewertungen

An ingenious moral tale * Glasgow Herald *
This classic story, first published in 1930, immediately seduces the reader with its hilarious world existing just under the surface of our own... Full of good jokes - mainly at the expense of the Fattypuffs - and good drawings by Fritz Wegner * Guardian *
One of our favourite books as children -- Kevin Crossley-Holland * Daily Mail *
Wegner's drawings of the lands of the Thinifer and Fattypuff people are heartwarming, imaginative and kind, but, more importantly, they are very funny -- Rob Ryan * The Times *
