The name says it all – Miesepups (Grumpus) isn’t exactly known for being cheerful. He lives alone in his messy cave, wants nothing, needs no one. And yet, there's always that other creature at his door: Kucks. Kucks thinks Miesepups is wonderful and just wants to look at him. But getting a glimpse takes patience – and the help of a very busy fairy. Imaginative, lively, and full of wit: Kirsten Fuchs’ beloved children’s book becomes an opera* for primary school kids.
