Bern Minster Illustrated works Hoffmann illustrated more than 80 books, ranging from literature to children's stories.
Joggeli wott go Birli schüttle is distinguished by Hoffmann's illustration in
lithography, and the book's oblong format that allows the narrative to unfold visually across wide page spreads. Its English translation
A Boy Went Out to Gather Pears was named a
New York Times Best Illustrated Children's Book of the Year upon release in 1966. Between 2018 and 2020, the
Swiss National Museum featured it as a primary subject in the exhibition
Joggeli, Pitschi, Globi, which examined the most culturally significant Swiss picture books of the century. He illustrated the
Limited Editions Club, including for
Thomas Mann's
The Magic Mountain (1962). Mann authorized the illustrations prior to his death. This is a selection of his illustrations for fine press commissions. • • • • This is a selection of his illustrations of children's picture books, including some by the
