A Sylt adventure fairytale with charming illustrations inviting big and small to dream

Xenia, ea sea gull from the sunken City in the Sea one day lies on the mud flats off the Island of Sylt. Christina finds her and takes her home with her to the house on the dune. Quickly it turns out that the sea gull, whose eyes are shining like star diamonds, is an enchanted sea gull who wants to invite four lovable people to the sunken city. This she achieves and for all of them it becomes a perfectly dreamlike as well as exciting experience. There they meet:

• lovable animals that greet them in a palace and dance with elves
• a colourful bird that calls itself "Aspe" and that lives in a cloud tunnel
• "Edel", who conjure the most beautiful colours
• stars that fall from the skies and keep shining in the sunken city
• and much, much more

Heidi Iris Büsching

Was born in North-Rhine-Westphalia in 1947. In the 80ies she had first contacts to the Island of Sylt. She was immediately captivated by its charm which from then on never released her. So she decided to permanently set up home in Westerland, together with her husband. In all these years she experienced the island, its legends and stories, its flora and fauna in all its possible facets.

Heidi Iris Büsching: "There were no limits to her overflowing imagination and so this charming adventure fairytale was created, which will make the island an enchanted place in the ocean, never to be forgotten."
