A German Christmas

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

A gorgeous gift edition of festive stories from Austria, Switzerland, and Germany.

From helpful elves to an enchanting Nutcracker, rediscover the German Christmas tales behind our most iconic festive traditions.

A Daily Express Book of the Year

Eine fröhliche Weihnachten -- A Merry Christmas -- made all the more joyful with these literary treats redolent of candle-lit trees, St. Nikolaus, gingerbread, roast goose and red cabbage, tinsel and stollen cakes, accompanied by plenty of schnapps.

In this collection, classic works by the Brothers Grimm and Thomas Mann intertwine with more recent stories from writers like Peter Stamm and Martin Suter to bring together the greatest festive tales from Austria, Switzerland, and Germany. From a child lost in a snowy, pine-scented forest meeting an unlikely saviour to old lovers reuniting during a last-minute dash across the city for presents, each story creates magical moments of reflection and rediscovery.

Bursting with family chaos, carols, and yuletide cheer, A German Christmas showcases those works that have helped define the festive period the world over.
