Description
This Czech-language collection of seven timeless Christmas stories by Otfried Preußler takes readers to a snowy world reminiscent of childhood Christmases. The tales are set in the Jizera Mountains and small snow-covered villages: little Felix from Kořenov loses his striped woolly hat, an unusual German lesson takes place in Dolní Suchá, and a lame Slovak wireworker receives a great surprise. A baker’s apprentice named Ferdl is given an orange that does not stay with him for long, an unknown woman chooses a wooden toy for her baby in the middle of the night, Mr Plischke from the pear tree pays for his sticky fingers, and a little house cricket from a glassworks receives an extraordinary blessing. Bethlehem, meanwhile, may not always be as far away as everyone thinks.
