Hermann Kletke (14 March 1813 – 2 May 1886) was a German poet, novelist, and journalist. Kletke is primarily a children's writer; his songs are full of warm feeling, heartfelt simplicity and naive humor, including Kinderlieder and Die Kinderwelt. His fairy tales for youth are poetic and instructive, for example Almanach deutscher Volksmärchen. Source: Wikipedia (en)
