Eine Geschichte für den König

Paul Biegel's tale of the thousand-year-old King Mansolin is a literary masterpiece for both young and old: deeply and comprehensively crafted, yet simply everyday in the situations depicted, sometimes quirky, sometimes eerily beautiful, sometimes sad, and sometimes joyful. The ancient King Mansolin lives with the rabbit, his last servant, forgotten by all his subjects in the copper castle. Now he will die if he does not receive the healing key herb in time. While the doctor sets off to fetch the herb, Mansolin can only be kept alive by telling him stories. Each day, an animal appears at the castle gate with a story – but will there really be one every day until the key herb arrives? An excellent read-aloud book by this award-winning, highly versatile Dutch author.
