Der Bauer und sein Sohn ist der Titel eines 1839 veröffentlichten Märchens von Eduard Mörike: Die magischen Kräfte der Natur bestrafen einen mit seinem Leben unzufriedenen und seine Tiere schlecht behandelnden Bauer und er verliert seinen Hof. Sein sensibler Sohn wird dagegen für seine Tierliebe belohnt und er wendet das Schicksal der Familie. Nach seinem Vorbild gelobt der Vater Besserung.

Seine Märchen sind weit mehr als Kindergeschichten: Sie erzählen von Sehnsucht und Hoffnung, von Außenseitern und Träumern, von Mut, Verlust und der Kraft der Fantasie. Hinter der märchenhaften Oberfläche verbergen sich existenzielle Themen: das Streben nach Anerkennung, die Erfahrung von Einsamkeit, die Suche nach Liebe und der Wunsch, seinen eigenen Platz in der Welt zu finden. Viele seiner Geschichten tragen autobiografische Züge: das Gefühl des Andersseins, der Wunsch nach Zugehörigkeit und die Kraft, trotz aller Widrigkeiten den eigenen Weg zu gehen.

Magic does not originate from spells or cauldrons. It is not pulled out of a hat or hidden up one's sleeve. It is fueled by imagination, a resource both infinite and precious.

What does a duck do if it cannot fly? How does a lumberjack end up living in a tree?
