John Galt twice wrote the story of Herman first as a play and then as a fairytale first as poetry and then as prose telling of a scholar who sold his soul in exchange for love. Both versions are available here together for the first time a unique opportunity to explore a story so captivating that its author couldn't tell it just the once. The edition is edited by David J. Knight the General Editor of Vocamus Editions with a foreword by Ian McGhee Secretary of the John Galt Society and with John Galt's own preface to The German's Tale.
