Hierdie fris, lewendige vertaling deur Marita van der Vyver is om verskillende redes uniek. Dit is die eerste keer dat die volledige Grimm in Afrikaans in een band verskyn. Ook die herkoms van elk van die 210 sprokies wat aan die hand van verskeie bronne nagegaan is, word vir die eerste keer in Afrikaans opgeteken. Daarby is dit die eerste keer dat die klassieke negentiende-eeuse tekeninge van die drie groot Grimm-illustreerders – Hermann Vogel, P. Grot Johann en R. Leinweber – in ’n Afrikaanse uitgawe gebruik word.

This vivid retelling brings together the best-known stories about Arthur and his court exploring the relationships between the main characters in the legends. Magnificent illustrations by Pavel Tatarnikov add to the atmosphere of Arthurian England.

Frank tends the rubbish heap in the monster realm, just on the other side of the human world. In his spare time, he builds inventions out of scraps of rubbish. One of his inventions is of a human-inspired robot, with a stained t-shirt as the body. But Frank can't seem to get the robot to work. One strange night, a bolt of lightning transforms the invention into a real human child! Frank names him "Stain". Curious and energetic, Stain wreaks havoc on the monster realm, angering the monster population. Can Frank save Stain from destruction by convincing the rest of the monsters that Stain is not a threat?
