Hailing from Potsdam and having grown up in the German Empire at the turn of the 20th century, our author transports us to the enchanting world of castles and parks of the former Prussian residence through four wonderful fairy tales. With poetic sensitivity, he brings these magical places to life and allows fictional and historical figures to engage in nostalgic encounters that transcend the boundaries of time. Even Frederick the Great's tobacco box becomes a time machine.
