Chrystillian Christmas


Book Description

A goose on its flight to baking-oven land, chasing a golden angel's curl, encountering a mutant Christmas tree, an endless line of waiting stars, Santa's great-great-ancestor and, of course, Father Christmas himself, sitting on a cloud under whose shadow a boy is riding down from the peaks of the Andes, spreading the news of Christ's birth ... It could be like that, but it isn't quite, maybe a little, but just maybe. An Advent calendar of Christmas short stories, profound and loving, varied and multi-faceted, presented in a wonderful narrative style that will enchant even the adult reader. A fragrance-wrapped Christmas soufflé that can be eaten over 26+1 days, on each day of Advent and Christmas plus New Year's Eve, or all at once, depending on the size of your appetite or Christmas taste ...




Roxanna and the Mysterious Monk


Book Description

Practice makes perfect. Hopefully this does not apply to the murderer, but to the somewhat bizarre detective Roxanna. She has solved her first case, or so she thinks, when life, or rather death, puts another case on her desk. This brings her into contact with a wealthy English gentleman at his country estate, who has amassed a considerable fortune with an unusual business idea. His somewhat strange-looking entourage makes sure it, the handsome fortune, stays that way. Among them is a complicated hunter, who is not only a little over-the-top in his language, and especially a monk who, with his incredible intuition, not only beats the inspector to it once, but also manages to bring his gentleman boss to his ice-cold destination before the inspector does.




Island of Figures

He manages to do that, but then disappears forever into the dark sea. Some time later, another girl travels after her missing doll, and an exciting, adventurous journey begins with an unusual, surprising end.
