Description
There is always something going on with the Moll family. While shopping, on vacation, on a bike tour or in the swimming pool – Papa Moll experiences one adventure after another.
Papa Moll – a timeless figure
Papa Moll, the busy, helpful and versatile family man who always means well and is always unlucky, is one of Switzerland’s best-known children’s book heroes. Since their publication in the 1950s, the stories about Papa Moll and his family have inspired generation after generation. The lovable anti-hero’s clumsy nature gets him into trouble time and again, which he overcomes creatively together with his wife, his three children and his dachshund Tschips.
Role model for Papa Moll
The story of Papa Moll mirrors the story of its creator Edith Oppenheim-Jonas. If you rummage through old letters, photo albums and drawing folders, you will come across familiar things again and again: the father, a well-known, versatile engineer, inventor and passionate chess player, wears the features of Papa Moll. The mother, two sons and a daughter and even the dachshund correspond to reality. Many of the stories are based on real events and experiences in the family.
