Heart thread. Novel of the Augsburg Puppet Box

When the puppets conquered a land. A twelve-year-old girl discovers a small wooden door in the foyer of the Augsburg Puppet Theater after a performance, opens it, and finds herself in a fairy-tale world, much like Alice in Wonderland, where many friends await: Princess Li Si, Tomcat Mikesch, Lukas the train driver, and many others. Most importantly, she meets Hatü, the woman who once carved and built all these puppet figures with her father and has a great story to tell: the story of this unique theater and the family that invented, founded, and made it famous. It is the tale of a German cultural myth that dates back to the early years of World War II when Walter Oehmichen, an actor from the Augsburg Theater, meets a puppet carver in the hospital. Valery Tscheplanowa studied dance and puppetry before turning to acting. Together with Christian Brückner, she will bring the Augsburg Puppet Theater to life in a way that is both enchanting and captivating.
