In October 2012 New Zealand will be the Guest of Honour at the world’s biggest literary event, the Frankfurt Book Fair. To celebrate this, translator Sally-Ann Spencer has brought together a group of literary organisations to bring a taste of Europe to Wellington by creating New Zealand’s first, albeit temporary, Literaturhaus.

Fairy tales brought to life by Lotte Reiniger, a pioneer of silhouette animation. These stories were shown on TV in NZ and UK in the 1960s.
