Publisher's Synopsis
Hans and Gertrud lived in their beautiful castle in the Bavarian mountains. They had freedom, servants and, best of all, animals. Then evil men came to power and they were forced to flee to England leaving all they had behind them. There they were kidnapped and taken to the strange neighbouring kingdom of Eng-a-land. The people couldn't speak properly, weighed with heavy weights and stones and even opened their windows the wrong way. They managed to escape and were taken in by a strange old women in black. Things looked like they were going badly until an unexpected person came to save them all. Fun, excitement, sadness, happiness for all children aged 7-11 and only very intelligent adults.
