The Village Life Books
On the edge of the Black Forest, somewhere between Russia and Poland (and occasionally Germany) is a small village…
Izzy Abrahmson’s THE VILLAGE LIFE is a rich tapestry of traditional stories with a modern sensibility, and
lovable characters who will transport you on a magical break from the stress of today.
“Abrahmson’s prose savvily mixes the homey and the surreal, and he’s a master of the cozy bedtime story.”
