''The Rainbow Goblins'' was published in 1978 in Germany, and was translated into English in the same year by [[Stanley Baron]]. It is a story of 7 evil goblins, each a different color of the [[rainbow]], who travel through the land catching rainbows and stealing their color. The work was praised for its enchanting oil-on-oak illustrations, which vividly draw the reader into the world of the goblins; and its simple story, which teaches children about color as well as reverence for natural beauty.

===Style===
All of the paintings in the works mentioned above were oil-on-oak panels, which gave them a distinctively grainy and vivid look. The paintings also have a slightly surreal feel which allows readers to be drawn into their colorful imaginary world while still being reminded of the beautiful natural world which inspired them.
