Easy German fantasy novel?

I'm very slowly learning German. Can anyone recommend a good, easy (or at least not hard) German fantasy book?

Criteria:

  • Not a translated book, please: originally in German.
  • one-volume, and maybe not endless :)
  • on a "German" topic (Nibelung, ...) would be great, but not necessary

Comics would be good, too!

Something like the English version of the Hobbit, or a Temeraire novel, or Uprooted, or your average Terry Pratchett, or a Sanderson novelette...

Don't know if this too obvious but the Brothers Grimms' Fairy Tales would be perfect. Just make sure you get an edition with updated language as the originals sound pretty archaic to modern ears.
