On the Fourth Advent at Four in the Morning

A Christmas Story

It’s not wealth that makes us happy, rather the sharing of everything that one owns—including happiness. This is what Andreas learns in this thought-provoking Christmas story by Klaus Kordon. A new take on a classic story, with fairy-tale illustrations by Jasmin Schaefer.

Wishes we write in the snow early on the fourth Advent morning are fulfilled, says old Hinnerk. So Andreas writes “BETTER LUCK!” in the snow because that’s something he really needs. And, because Advent is a time of miracles, that’s exactly what happens! From then on, every Christmas, a mysterious stranger appears who wants to give Andreas a gold coin but only if he likes what Andreas wishes for!
