«Maria auf dem Seil» is the children's and young adult novel by Brazilian Lygia Bojunga Nunes, published by Dressler in hardback (144 pages, in German).

With poetic style, Lygia Bojunga Nunes addresses memory, identity and childhood.
The work was originally published in 1979; this 1983 German edition was translated by Karin Schreiner. Lygia Bojunga Nunes was awarded the Hans Christian Andersen Prize.
