As promised, we’ve arrived in Germany for the next leg of our tour in the World Doll Series of books.

Really charming illustrations once more – this time the work of W. Lewis from the Birmingham School of Design.

Our German guides are Gretel & Gunther who spend a lot of time singing & dancing when they’re not shepherding us lot around.

We’re taken on a trip through a land of contrasts.

Vibrant cities & the industrial powerhouses…

…to the beautiful countryside with forests, mountains, lakes & rivers.

From bustling shipyards on the coast to serene fairy tale castles in the hills.

Hot & sunny in the summer for cycling, swimming and open air cafés, cold & snowy in the winter for skiing, skating and cosy log fires. Perfect!!

And the Germans are very good at doing Christmas too. You’re going to have a job dragging us away!! But onwards we must go – Italy next. So it’s Auf Wiedersihen from the good folk of Germany.
