A Christmas Tale

and The Sun-Child

von ,

From Baobab House Publishers.

Two classic Rumanian fairy tales by one of Europe’s most beloved storytellers.

Little Petru braves an icy winter night and the terrors of a haunted well to save his mother’s life, learning along the way that basic human decency is worth more than all the conventional piety in the world.

In a touching allegory, the Sun-Child collects the shed tears of humankind in crystal philtres, risking all the while being consumed by the heat of the sun and the weight of human woe.
