About the series
A Christmas serial in German, written for this library, with a translation beside every line. The Christmas market on St Nicholas Square has opened every December for fifty years. Two weeks before, it is cancelled: the old wooden huts are rotten, and nobody wants to sign for its safety. Karim, a London lawyer, comes home for one weekend with an offer for his father’s corner shop in his bag. Instead, his father puts his name on the market. Karim stays to stop him, then to help, and the council officer who has to say no to everything makes it harder to leave.
Ten episodes, written at level B2: one obstacle and one move in each, a race against the calendar, and a question about who wants the square empty. Read one a day through Advent. The same square and the same neighbours appear in the other Christmas series too, each at its own level, so the story grows with you.
