He is dressed like a real king, like a great king. He wears a red velvet cloak with white ermine trim. But he is a tiny little fellow, no longer than a pinky finger. And he is quite plump, as his favorite food is gummy bears. When he eats one, he has to embrace it with both arms. He can hardly lift it, as it is almost half the size of the entire king. His life is also quite different from ours. At his birth, he was already fully grown and knew almost everything; he could count and write. He just never experienced a childhood - perhaps that will come at the end of his life. Axel Hacke's enchanting story of the little king December has become a classic, beloved by both young and old. After nearly a million copies sold, the fairy tale is finally available to listen to in its original form - narrated by Axel Hacke himself. The beloved classic.
