Ein Vater, ein neugieriger Junge – und ein seltsamer kleiner Laden voller Magie mitten in London. In Der Zauberladen von H. G.

Diese fein gesponnene Kurzgeschichte überrascht mit Fantasie, leiser Ironie und einem Hauch Melancholie. Alexander Wohnhaas verleiht dem Text die passende Stimmung – mal verspielt, mal unheimlich – und macht dieses Hörbuch zu einem kleinen literarischen Zauberstück.

Mr. Hoopdriver is a frustrated draper’s assistant in Putney, London. He is badly paid, over-worked, and he needs a holiday. He also owns a bicycle—though he is an awkward rider.
