Augustus Huff, enseignant à la célèbre université de Cambridge, est bien ennuyé : un de ses étudiants a trouvé la mort après une chute de plusieurs mètres. Tragique accident ou meurtre de sang-froid ? Augustus penche pour la seconde hypothèse, car le disparu était tout sauf un ange. Avec l'aide de Gray, le perroquet du défunt, il part à la recherche de l'assassin. Mais l'oiseau se révèle être fort en bec et l'enquêteur pas franchement doué. Rapidement, c'est Gray qui posera les bonnes questions et conduira Augustus sur les traces du coupable. Leonie Swann nous entraîne dans une enquête palpitante menée par un universitaire farfelu et le plus charmant des enquêteurs à plumes !
A colony of dwarfs fleeing persecution by Norwegian Vikings settled a valley in the foothills of the Bavarian Alps. Eventually they were joined by locals who shared their valley. Unjustly blamed for a fire, the majority were captured and disappeared, Only seven remained, who fled up the mountain to make a new home near their mines. This is their story, told by Bjorn. the youngest dwarf. The cast is familiar: the Prince, Snow White, the Huntsman, and the evil Queen, but they have been fleshed out as real people with problems and challenges. There are many new characters: Solomon, the Queen's scientist from Nubia; Rollo the minstrel who inadvertently became the man in the mirror; Max the Queen's mute bodyguard; and a host of other dwarfs. The story is familiar as well, but is not a fairy tale. Everything in the story is possible and plausible, historically and technically accurate. Follow Bjorn as he rises from the runt of the group to the leader, the Prince and Snow who face their fears and uncertainties to find themselves and each other. And learn about life in Medieval Germany.
