Wir warten auf Weihnachten mit den schönsten Wintergeschichten aus aller Welt by Dawn Casey

3.5
A diverse and enchanting collection of winter stories from all over the world which are set around christmas, New Year's Eve, the winter season and even seasons in general. Themes around friendship, companionship, family, nature, joy and life are all represented in the collection.
There is probably at least one story in there that you have never heard of before. I only ever read The Nutcracker and The Snow Queen prior to this collection, and while those two tales are still one of my favourites, I did discover some new great stories as well.
The beautiful illustrations on every single page also help bring the narratives come to life.
A few of these tales are meant for a very young audience which is why I could not enjoy them as much, but they were cute nonetheless.
