Wild Sophie

Lucas Hartman (b. 1944) - Swiss writer, author of historical novels and children"s books, many of which became bestsellers in German -speaking countries. This is the story-tale "Wild Sophie".

For children, this is an exciting story about how a village girl Sophie makes his way to the castle of King Tseplyandia and helps Prince Jan to escape from there, how she teaches his courage, ingenuity, friendship, and also climb trees there are cherries, digging a digging and crazy ...

And it all started with the fact that the king of the little country of Tsypucia from the very birth of his son was extremely worried about his health and safety. He hired a whole army of servants - from the porter to the stairs to the manager fish oil - and introduced in the castle many ridiculous prohibitions and restrictions. What is one ban on a capital letter e on a letter and in speech - it is too acute. Prince Jan is also strictly forbidden to go out. Queen Isabella understood that her husband’s husband only harms her son, she tried to protest, but rarely achieved her, because the “king is always right”. And the boy grew up. At first, he longed to see and know the world around him, but little by little lost interest in life. But then Sophie appeared - and this changed everything.

This book proposes to think about parental love and anxiety, about children"s security and freedom, and how to become a friend of your child.

Even 27 years after the first publication, Wild Sophie retains its charm. A fairy tale for children and adults came out of the pen of Lucas Hartman.
