The groundbreaking theatrical work of Rainer Hachfeld, "The Grouch", which was first presented on the Greek stage in 1973 by Xenia Kalogeropoulou, has never ceased to captivate children (and those who feel like children).

The play is being published for the first time in the Greek language, in the same translation that made it known and loved on the theatrical stage. An exquisite text that should not be missing from any children's and school library, a hymn to humanity as it is, not as it should be.
