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.
