《GONE IS GONE》In this delightful story we meet Fritzl, a farmer who lives with his wife Liesi, their baby kinndli, and Spitz, their dog. Fritzl works hard in the fields every day. Liesi works hard all day, too, but Fritzl somehow feels that he works harder. When he complains about how hard he works and how easy Liesi has it, and Liesi suggests they trade places.The tale’s sly peasant humor and conversational style combined with Gág’s expressive black-and-white illustrations made the book an instant classic. The hilarious outcomes of Fritzl's calamitous day at home are portrayed in Gág's singular illustrations. In the end Fritzl admits that his wife's work is "none too easy” and begs to return to his fields and not do housework another day. And they live in peace and happiness for ever and ever.
