Bøger af Rabbit Warren

This part-travelogue and part-scrapbook of curiosities and memories is the sequel to macabre story-teller and children´s fantasy author Rabbit Warren´s autobiographic "My Dreams and Travels". Beginning with his amusingly botched attempt to become a travel courier, Rabbit then describes how he finally realized his "Alpine Dream" by training as both a chef and a pastry chef in the Bavarian Alps, as well as then becoming a hotel children´s entertainer and magic clown in the Austrian Tyrol. As well as describing the many colorful places that he worked - including a partying ski-school, a hotel run by "witches" and a Gingerbread Kiddies´ Club - and lively characters he worked with, Rabbit also tells of his father´s visits to the Alps following his mother´s tragic death, how he had to re-invent his life after a brain tumor operation and how he finally became an Austrian citizen after Brexit. Rabbit also writes of his favorite pet-themes and inspirations, including the Von Trapp Family Singers of "The Sound of Music" fame, the Nazi Olympics of 1936 and the "Alpine Fortress" of 1945. Written in a breezy and highly readable style, this is a mostly light-hearted celebration of life that can easily inspire one to live out one´s life according to one´s dreams. Suitable for all grown-ups and teens from 14 years.
