"Every afternoon, after school, the children used to go and play in the Giant's yard. One day the Giant came back. He had been to visit his friend the Cornish ogre, and had stayed with him for seven years. After the seven years he had said all that he had to say, and he decided to return to his own castle. When he arrived he saw the children playing in the yard. So he built a high wall all round it, and put up a sign.
Nach der Schule schleichen die Kinder gern in den Garten des Riesen. Als der Riese jedoch entdeckt, dass sie in seinem Garten spielen, verbietet er den Kindern den Zugang und baut eine Mauer. Von nun an kehren auch Frühling und Sommer nicht mehr in den Garten zurück - es scheint für immer Winter zu bleiben. Doch eines Tages ereignet sich etwas Wundervolles.
Schauspielerin Anah Ruddin spricht einfühlsam und warm die Geschichten des glücklichen Prinzen und der aufopfernden Nachtigall, Gordon Griffin lässt den Hörer die innere Wandlung des bösen Riesen mitfühlen.

"In the tradition of Indiana Jones, a feisty heroine with a sixth sense and two sexy heroes—a dark, reclusive billionaire and a mercenary bodyguard—are on a hunt for four powerful relics that could change their lives…and the course of history. But relics aren’t Kendall’s only quest. Eventually, she’ll have to choose between her sexy boss and her badass bodyguard.
Kendall Morgan is a human bloodhound. Spending her childhood hunting relics with her ambitious archeologist father, she knew the two of them shared a sixth sense for the history and location of objects—sometimes even people. What she didn’t know was that their paranormal gift could ultimately be their undoing.
After the tragic plane crash that killed her father as well as her childhood best friend, Kendall dedicated her life to finding and protecting relics. When mysterious, sexy billionaire Nathan Larraby hires her for his latest expedition—the search for four powerful relics—she’s thrown into a world of high-octane danger. He sends brooding mercenary Jake Stone to watch Kendall’s back, but he may have created danger of a different kind.
As the team chases down clues, a man called the Reaper makes a play for the artifacts and will stop at nothing to put them to his own sinister use. What’s worse is that Nathan hasn’t told the whole story, and the dark secrets he’s keeping could cost them the mission…and their lives."
"This astonishing novel begins in 1907, when Josef Siedler, a science-fiction devotee, ventures deep into a series of caves in search of an entrance to the underworld. Disappointed in his quest, he nonetheless returns with a peculiar souvenir: a small rock sample that emits a strange humming sound. Upon Siedler’s death, the rock is bequeathed to his nephew, a significant step in what will become an extraordinary journey through the arc of history. For as the stone passes through the hands of a series of owners, it collects their experiences: from pre-World War I ambitions and inter-war anarchism to conditions during World War II, the bleakness of life in post-war East Germany, the German art scene of the 1960s, and more. These “snapshots” of the twentieth century serve to chronicle the continuity of humanity, with all its strengths and weaknesses, in spare, haunting prose. In The Brummstein, Danish author Peter Adolphsen has spun a mystical—and movingly memorable—exploration of the meaning of life."
"Der hochkarätige Klassiker - tolldreist und neu interpretiert Münchhausen - das ist vor allem der berühmte Ritt auf der Kanonenkugel und das Pferd, mit dem er sich 'am eigenen Haarzopfe' aus dem Morast zieht. Seine Geschichten sind so herrlich unwahrscheinlich und doch arbeiten sie mit allgemeinen Vorstellungen und Urängsten des Menschen, die auch heute noch gültig sind. Viele gesellschaftspolitische Anspielungen, kritische Bemerkungen und Querverweise zu anderen Werken der Literatur erstaunen noch heute den Zuhörer. Sie klingen modern und hellwach in ihrer Weise der genauen Beobachtung des menschlichen Lebens. Die Originalerzählungen werden fantastisch interpretiert von Jan Josef Liefers - und als Gäste sind Ulrich Noethen und Wolfram Koch zu hören. Das Hörbuch zur zweiteiliegn ARD-Weihnachtsverfilmung!"
"Deep within the Wood, a young woman lies dead. Not a mark on her body. No trace of her murderer. Only her chipped glass slippers hint at her identity.
The Woodcutter, keeper of the peace between the Twelve Kingdoms of Man and the Realm of the Faerie, must find the maiden’s killer before others share her fate. Guided by the wind and aided by three charmed axes won from the River God, the Woodcutter begins his hunt, searching for clues in the whispering dominions of the enchanted unknown.
But quickly he finds that one murdered maiden is not the only nefarious mystery afoot: one of Odin’s hellhounds has escaped, a sinister mansion appears where it shouldn’t, a pixie dust drug trade runs rampant, and more young girls go missing. Looming in the shadows is the malevolent, power-hungry queen, and she will stop at nothing to destroy the Twelve Kingdoms and annihilate the Royal Fae…unless the Woodcutter can outmaneuver her and save the gentle souls of the Wood.
Blending magic, heart-pounding suspense, and a dash of folklore, The Woodcutter is an extraordinary retelling of the realm of fairy tales."
"In the badlands of southern Baja, retired expatriate billionaire Atticus Fish finds himself sabotaging illegal commercial longliners from his one-man submarine, and schooling boneheaded tourists in civility. But when archaeologist Duncan Rigby gets kidnapped while on the trail of the legendary Jesuit Treasure, intrepid PI Toozie McGill enlists Atticus to fire up his seaplane and fly off in pursuit. Finding the archaeologist is one thing; recovering the stolen jewels is something else altogether. Now that word of the Treasure is out, will Atticus and his sideckick, mescal bootlegger Skegs, stand a chance against the deadly wave of treasure hunters who wash up on Baja’s shores?
A delightfully offbeat mystery adventure brimming with colorful characters and local atmosphere, El Dorado Blues will charm readers in the best-selling tradition of Carl Hiaasen, Elmore Leonard, and Jimmy Buffett."
"O. Henry's classic Christmas short story is charmingly told by Lorie Kellogg and Joe Bevilacqua. William Sydney Porter, known by his pen name O. Henry, was an American writer, whose short stories are known for their wit, wordplay, warm characterization and clever twist endings."
"It is Christmas Eve at the North Pole when Santa Claus loses his "remembery" and only a child who has been good for 365 days can save Christmas! Producer Joe Bevilacqua has unearthed this vintage 1940s recording of the charming Yuletide children's radio play, written and starring Daws Butler, the voice and Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Quick Draw McGraw and most of the classic Hanna-Barbera cartoon characters. Also heard in this old time radio show is Don Messick (Boo Boo Bear, Ranger Smith, Scooby Doo)."
"Princess Anidori-Kiladra of Kildenree was born with a word on her tongue and a secret magic. Though she is raised in luxury, she is never quite comfortable with who she is or what she is to become. Then she is sent on a journey to marry an unknown prince. The trip is difficult, and before it is finished all her expectations are overturned. Alone, friendless, stripped of her crown and her title, Ani must learn to make her own path in the world. Along the way, she just might learn to be a princess.
Bold in concept, stunning in execution, The Goose Girl is one of the most spectacular debut novels of recent years. Now more than four dozen actors bring it to thrilling new life in this unabridged audio edition—a recording that will delight those who already love the book, and enthrall those who have not yet discovered it."
"Here in one recording are both of L. Frank Baum's Santa Claus stories: The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, and A Kidnapped Santa Claus. In The Life and Adventures of Santa Claus, Baum gives us a glimpse into the magical history that surrounds the life story of Santa Claus. In A Kidnapped Santa Claus, we find out what happens when Santa is kidnapped shortly before Christmas."
"“Terrific. A wild ride….I loved it. It hooked me and I couldn’t put it down.”
—Mike Mignola, creator of Hellboy
''Brom is that rare breed: a person who is skilled in more than one area of artistic expression. Here's hoping that he will continue to share his dark and often beautiful dreams with us for many years to come.'' --Christopher Paolini, New York Times bestselling author of Eragon
Acclaimed author and artist Brom raised eyebrows and pulse rates with The Child Thief, his grim, brilliantly audacious, gorgeously illustrated reimagining of the Peter Pan legend. So what does this innovative fantasist do for an encore? He tinkers darkly with the beloved mythology of Santa Claus.
Set in Appalachia, Krampus the Yule Lord is a twisted fairytale about a failed West Virginia songwriter who gets ensnared on Christmas Eve in an eternal war between a not-so-saintly Saint Nick and his dark enemy Krampus, aka Black Peter, an ancient trickster demon. Krampus the Yule Lord is Gregory Maguire (Wicked) meets Susanna Clarke (Jonathan Strange & Mr. Norrell) in the realm of Guillermo Del Toro’s Pan’s Labyrinth, as Clive Barker (Mr. B. Gone) works his dark sorcery from the shadows. Once again featuring Brom’s chillingly beautiful artwork throughout, Krampus the Yule Lord is a feast of wonder straight from the kitchen of Sweeney Todd."
"Karen Duve ist seit jeher eine begeisterte Leserin von Märchen, Heldensagen und Rittergeschichten. Besonders liebt sie die Märchen der Brüder Grimm. Darin allerdings geschieht viel, was mit dem gesunden Menschenverstand nicht zu erklären ist! Wie wahrscheinlich ist es zum Beispiel, dass eine außergewöhnlich gut aussehende junge Frau den Haushalt für sieben mittelalte kleinwüchsige Junggesellen führt und sich nicht einer der Herren an sie ranmacht? Wie gestaltet es sich praktisch, wenn man nach einem hundertjährigen Schlaf unter Zentimeter dicken Staubschichten aufwacht? Und überhaupt: Wie hält sich ein Prinz fit, der hundert Jahre warten muss, bis er seine Prinzessin wach küssen kann?
Karen Duve erzählt ihre eigenen Versionen der Geschichten. Und die sind voll von dem, was Duves Romane sonst auch auszeichnet: familiäre Abneigungen, Bindungsängste, bizarre Liebesvorstellungen, Vaterkomplexe, Selbstzweifel, Trotzrektionen und Minderwertigkeitsgefühle."
