Klaus-Peter Wolf
was born 1954 in Gelsenkirchen. After his Abitur, he worked for a local paper, organised a youth centre and drifted from place to place all over Europe as a conjuring clown. During this time, he started to write stories about himself and his friends, which found more and more readers. Until now, he has received several prizes for his books, including the Anne-Frank-Annerkennungspreis.
