A German Christmas: Festive Tales From Berlin to Bavaria (Vintage Christmas Tales)
Description
From helpful elves to an enchanting nutcracker, rediscover the German Christmas tales behind our most iconic festive traditions
*A Daily Express Book of the Year*
A merry Christmas -- A Merry Christmas -- made all the more joyful with these literary treats redolent of candle-lit trees, St. Nicholas, gingerbread, roast goose and red cabbage, tinsel and stollen cakes, accompanied by plenty of schnapps.
In this collection, classic works by the Brothers Grimm and Thomas Mann intertwine with more recent stories from writers like Peter Stamm and Martin Suter to bring together the greatest festive tales from Austria, Switzerland and Germany. From a child lost in a snowy, pine-scented forest meeting an unlikely saviour to old lovers reuniting during a last-minute dash across the city for presents, each story creates magical moments of reflection and rediscovery.
Bursting with family chaos, carols and yuletide cheer, A German Christmas showcases those works that have helped define the festive period the world over.
