Vogellisi: A Nature Fairy Tale
A read-aloud book with illustrations for the whole family.
A touching story that blurs the lines between fiction and reality, about the power of the mountains, freedom and dreams – told with a touch of humour and empathy.
«Wenn i nume wüsst wo ds Vogellisi wär, s’Vogellisi chunt vo Adelbode her.» Every Swiss person knows this song, which celebrates the Bernese Oberland. But do people also know that the mysterious young girl can talk to birds and knows the healing powers of Alpine herbs?
Annemarie Stähli’s nature fairy tale is set at the beginning of the 20th century at the foot of the Wildstrubel, just as the first grand hotels in Adelboden were welcoming their distinguished guests. With humour and suspense, the author brings the world of the mountain folk into conflict with that of high society from Europe’s major cities.
