Wunderbare Reisen und Abenteuer der kleinen Dott, Band I
by Tamara Ramsay, Alfred Seidel
Description
Die Kleine Dott is an adventure and coming-of-age novel for young people, especially girls, with elements of saga and fantasy. Dott, the heroine, is a twelve-year old girl who lives in a village near Berlin between the two World Wars. When Dott sneaks out to see the bonfire of the midsummer night, the Rennefarre, a magical flower falls into her shoe. That makes her invisible. She can also speak with animals and magical creatures and look back into the past. Flying across the country on the backs of crows and herons, Dott experiences adventures and lives through moments in history others can only read about. But she always has one goal in mind: returning home to her family. The book is the new edition of Tamara Ramsay's popular book for children and young adults in the original three volumes with the original, long lost drawings and covers by Alfred Seidel. The three volumes are slightly shortened without anything of their content been lost. The language has been gently modernized. The book promotes friendship among different cultures and peoples, the empowerment of girls, and the protection of animals.
Die kleine Dott, ein zwölfjähriges Mädchen, wohnt in der Prignitz bei Berlin um die Jahrhundertwende. Ihr Leben nimmt eine dramatische Wende, als sie sich zum Mittsommernachtsfeuer aus dem Haus schleicht. Dabei fällt die Rennefarre, eine magischen Pflanze, in ihre Schuhe. Nun kann sie sehen, was den Menschen sonst unsichtbar bleibt — Geister, Märchenfiguren, historische Gestalten. Sie kann Tiere verstehen und mit ihnen sprechen und sie kann tief in die Geschichte blicken. Für die Menschen aber ist Dott nun selber eine unsichtbare Geistergestalt. Um den Zauber loszuwerden, muss sie ihr zuhause verlassen, und nachdem sie die Fähigkeit hat, sich klein zu machen, reist sie mit Gurian, dem Reiher und Cornix, der Krähe durch das ganze Land. Dies ist die neue Ausgabe des beliebten Kinder-und Jugendbuchs von Tamara Ramsay in den originalen drei Bänden mit den originalen Zeichnungen und Titelbildern von Alfred Seidel, die viele Jahrzehnte nicht oder nur stark gekürzt erhältlich war. Die drei Bände sind leicht gekürzt, ohne etwas vom Inhalt zu verlieren, die Sprache ist behutsam modernisiert. Die Kleine Dott ist ein Abenteuer- und Entwicklungsroman mit Sagen- und Fantasie-Elementen, in dem Völkerverständigung, Heimatkunde und Tierschutz vereint sind.
