| Summary | "Little Johannes" by Frederik van Eeden is a novel written in the late 19th century. The story follows a young boy named Johannes who lives in a large old house filled with mystery and imagination, accompanied by his father, a dog named Presto, and a cat named Simon. This tale is a blend of fairy tale elements and a deep exploration of childhood wonder, as Johannes yearns for adventure and seeks to understand the world around him. The opening of "Little Johannes" introduces the protagonist living in an enchanting yet complex old house surrounded by a beautiful garden. Johannes engages his vivid imagination by naming the various rooms and places within the garden, turning them into magical realms filled with adventure. As he explores, he expresses a desire for miracles and deeper understanding. One evening, while gazing at a magical sunset, Johannes encounters Windekind, a fairy-like being who becomes his friend. Windekind guides Johannes into a world of nature and magic, promising friendship and adventures beyond his wildest dreams, setting the stage for the unfolding of their enchanting journey together.
