The fact that we do not always have control over the events in our lives has rarely been packaged so poetically and delightfully in light-hearted parables. With what perspective do we look at this world? Is what we do and what we want always the right thing? How do we position ourselves in relation to others? In the 13 parables for the bedside table, it’s about our dreams and desires, about friendship, love, and responsibility, but also about highly questionable and entrenched patterns of behavior— in short, about our own wonderful imperfection. Let yourself be seduced by friendly giants and headstrong fairies, curious cats, and clumsy frogs on a journey of a special kind. The short episodes are perfect as bedtime reading before sleep. Or you can read them at other times in different places, likely with a smile on your face and full of wonder at the behavioral acrobatics of the unusual main characters.
