Four Books by Wilhelm Hauff

Included in this collection are: The Banished, The Cold Heart, The Oriental Story Book, and The Wine Ghosts of Bremen. According to Wikipedia: "Wilhelm Hauff (November 29, 1802 – November 18, 1827) was born in Stuttgart, the son of August Friedrich Hauff, a secretary in the ministry of foreign affairs, and Hedwig Wilhelmine Elsaesser Hauff... Considering his brief life, Hauff was an extraordinarily prolific writer. The freshness and originality of his talent, his inventiveness, and his genial humour have won him a high place among the southern German prose writers of the early nineteenth century."
