Breve biografia: Doris Orgel, née Adelberg, was born to a Jewish family in Vienna, Austria. Her parents were Ernst and Erna Adelberg, and she had an older sister, Charlotte. In 1938, they fled the country to escape Nazi persecution. After a long journey and stays in Zagreb, Yugoslavia, and London, England, the family was able to emigrate to the USA in 1939.

Doris attended Radcliffe College from 1946 to 1948, and graduated cum laude from Barnard College in 1950. She became an award-winning children's author.

Her first original book, Sarah's Room (1963), was illustrated by Maurice Sendak.
Doris Orgel was best known for her semi-autobiographical novel The Devil in Vienna (1978), which received a Golden Kite Honor Book Award, Sydney Taylor Book Award, and was named a Phoenix Award Honor Book. It was adapted into a 1988 Disney Channel film called A Friendship in Vienna. She also translated children's books from German to English. Two of her translations, Nero Corleone: a Cat's Story by Elke Heidenreich, and Daniel Half Human by David Chotjewitz, were named Mildred L. Batchelder Honor Books. She was married to Shelley Orgel, a physician specializing in psychoanalysis, with whom she had three children.

The Bremen Town Musicians: And Other Animal Tales… di Doris Orgel

This includes tales by Grimm all about animals. I hadn't heard of a lot of these. They are fun and definitely worth the read.

Doctor All-Knowing: A Folk Tale from the Brothers… di Doris Orgel

A poor peasant named Crayfish and his young daughter Maggie often go hungry in this folk tale collected by the Brothers Grimm, and retold here by children's author Doris Orgel. Delivering firewood to a wealthy doctor one day, Crayfish and Maggie are forced to watch the man eat his multi-course meal. After questioning the doctor as to how he too can become a medical man, Crayfish sets up shop as "Doctor All-Knowing," soon attracting the attention of a wealthy man who hires him to discover who has been stealing from him. When Crayfish accidentally discovers the culprits, will he reveal them to the wealthy man, thereby sealing their fate, or will he find a way to restore the stolen property without any loss of life...?

The ninety-eighth story in the Brothers Grimm collection of fairy-tales, Doctor Know-All - "Doktor Allwissend" in the German - originally concerned the adventures of a peasant and his wife, but reteller Doris Orgel has changed the wife into a daughter, bringing a child character into the story. The change isn't terribly intrusive, and the story here is engaging. It is an example of what is, in the Aarne-Thompson folklore classification system, categorized as tale type 1641, about being in the right place at the right time. It strikes me as being chiefly a story about luck - Crayfish 'discovers' the identity of the thieves by purest chance - and not abusing that luck by misusing it to be cruel. I enjoyed the story, which I haven't seen retold in picture-book form before, and thought Alexandra Boiger's accompanying watercolor illustrations were very appealing. Recommended to anyone who enjoys fairy-tales, or is looking for children's stories in which the luck of an impoverished hero turns for the better.… (altro)

Doctor All-Knowing: A Folk Tale from the Brothers… di Doris Orgel

I quite enjoyed this book. One thing that stuck out to me was the moral integrity of the characters. The man Crayfish had promised the thieves that he would not tell the rich man it was them who stole the money and he kept his word. “Then he asked, ‘Will you tell me who stole it?’ No, he didn’t.” I also like the lesson the folk tale taught. It taught us to remain humble because in the end we will be rewarded. Crayfish did not help others to seek a reward and in turn he ended up being rewarded. “The servants rewarded him well. So did the rich man.” Good fortune comes to those who work for it honestly.… (altro)
