Walter Scherf

    June 11, 1920 – October 25, 2010

    Walter Scherf was a German writer, composer, and researcher of children's literature, youth literature, and fairy tales. His work is characterized by a deep interest in folk stories and traditional songs, which he researched and popularized. Scherf contributed to the international exchange of children's literature and illustrations, notably advocating for the inclusion of Eastern Bloc countries. His translations, particularly of fairy tales and fantasy literature, enriched the German literary landscape, and his own compositions, including youth songs, became classics.
