the three bandits

This contemporary classic of world children's literature has been translated into more than 30 languages. Since its first edition -published in Germany in 1961- until today, many generations of children have grown up with the story of these peculiar characters, excellently characterized with their original outfits and with an atypical instrument to commit misdeeds. The story stands out for its descriptive character, the narrative order of the actions and the simplicity with which Ungerer guides the reader. The illustrations help to understand the story: the color contrast, the expressiveness in each scene and the enigmatic appearance of the bandits are the most significant elements.
