Thienemann-Esslinger Verlag

The Thienemann-Esslinger Verlag publishes stories that remain lifelong favourites. Stories that stimulate the imagination, take children into new worlds, foster their reading habits, advance their development at whatever age they happen to be, and – above all – give them pleasure! The Thienemann-Esslinger assortment of children’s books is home to some of the finest classics of children’s literature and presents the doings of modern-day heroes and heroines from the imaginations of magnificent writers and illustrators such as Otfried Preussler, Michael Ende, Nele Neuhaus, Daniela Kulot, Lucy Astner and Sabine Bohlmann, Daniel Napp, Sebastian Meschenmoser and Oliver Scherz. Its output ranges from board picture books to reading-aloud books, from jolly picture books about everyday life to sophisticated high-art picture books, from ‘easy-readers’ for beginners to earnest heavyweight tomes, and from collections of fairy tales through to children’s novels with serious literary aspirations.
