The little dragon

It’s Saturday night and I am back at work. Today the outside temperature in Marburg broke into the plus numbers. It was a gloriously sunny day and the snow and ice are starting to melt. This was good for the soul.

Mrs H and the Juniorette were in town today to do some shopping. The Juniorette was after a book called ‘Der kleine Drache Kokosnuss und der schwarze Ritter’ by Ingo Siegner. Imagine their surprise when in the bookshop they found that the author of the book was there to sign copies. Apparently this week is Children’s Literature week in Marburg and there are many authors in town, doing signings and promoting their books.

So the Juniorette left the bookshop with a signed copy of ‘The little dragon coconut and the black knight’. Ingo Siegner who hails from near Hanover had quite a lot of time for the Juniorette and told her the outline of the plot for his next Little Dragon book. He even did a personalised illustration of the dragon in the book for her.

Luck seems to follow the Juniorette. When she enters a competition she normally wins a prize. She’s also been in the local paper heaps of time, for one reason or another. An old favourite saying of mine has always been “Think lucky, be lucky” – this definitely seems to apply to the Juniorette. I think it’s time for her to choose my lottery ticket numbers!
