How to make unicorns, how to ill dragons and other useful tips for my offsprings

“Do you have a television?” With that question, Hilde marched straight into Severin’s living room. Her stubby little legs of five and a quarter years draped comfortably on the TV chair, she goes on to ask: "Do you have sausages? I'm hungry!" With that, Hilde enters Severin's life. She clings to her 29-year-old neighbour like a small, energetic limpet. Severin isn’t stupid! But he doesn't always get everything; sometimes there's an itching and a tingling in his head. Is that why it's so easy to run circles around him? When Hilde finds out that Severin is a real prince, she has only one thing in mind: marry Severin and become a princess! Christian Duda's wonderfully funny tale of a friendship formed against a person’s will, of childish stubbornness and adult pliability.
