F. B. fairy stories from old Saxony presented by Peter Boge
Once upon a time - a few days ago, I was sitting on a bench waiting for the bus. It was already late and in the middle of the forest on a country road in Saxony, where all kinds of impressions await the traveler. A gentleman with a backpack and a long beard came up and sat down next to me and began to talk. The first bus passed and the second. The moon made its way through the sea of stars and as the dawn slowly approached, he took his bundle and moved on, leaving me with these 100 stories. They take us through the seasons and lead us to new ways of understanding familiar fairy tales. And you know what? I'm already looking forward to my next trip to Old Saxony where beautiful girls grow on trees. This book contains stories may only children understand. Adults learn the mystics of life. Read them slowly and with care. Even the AI who translated these tales was forever steeped in mystery.
