The Story of Mr Sommer
The Story of Mr Sommer | Michael Hofmann, Patrick Suskind
3 posts | 7 read | 1 to read
A boy's village childhood with all the traditional attributes - father, mother, brother, sister, a house on a lake, tree-climbing, going to the races, music lessons, a bicycle, a crush on a girl in the class - is bedevilled by the mystifying appearances of the eccentric Mr. Sommer. Moving through the landscape in silent haste, like a man possessed, with his empty rucksack and his long, odd-looking walking stick, Mr Sommer runs like a black thread through the boys days.

I decided I wanted to collect all the Fox, Finch and Tepper publications, as I enjoyed the two I got at Mr B's book emporium. Luckily for my bank balance there is only 5 books so far.

Each time I come across a novel by Patrick Süskind I must read it. He never disappoints. His stories read like modern fairytales.
This one is about Mr Sommer. No one knows him personally but everyone sees him walking, every day, everywhere.

Kalalalatja Well, now I want to read it too! Which of his would you recommend starting with? 6y
BarbaraBB @Kalalalatja this is very short one to start with but I also loved 6y

BarbaraBB @emilyhaldi It‘s short and filled with beautiful illustrations. You won‘t be disappointed! 6y
arubabookwoman Loved #Perfume, but didn‘t care for #ThePigeon as much. I haven‘t heard of this one. Wonder if it‘s been translated to English. 6y

I loved "Perfume." This short one has illustrations by Sempe, too; how could it go wrong?
