Der Halbbart

A charming story with fairytale qualities, set in the 13hundreds in a Swiss village. A coming-of-age story of a boy who encounters cast of diverse lovely, wacky, superstitious characters and figures out his passion in life on the way - storytelling.

It´s a story about storytelling where emotions are not named but presented to you in form of a story. It´s a story about the power of stories and how stories can entertain, can help heal, can instigate trouble and can build legends.

The book has a wonderful flow and was a great companion despite it´s substantial length.
