Karl sets out on an expedition for somewhere, there must exist a place where all the lost things end up. And Karl does not mean the lost property office. One night, under a full moon, his little dog Timo puts him on the right track... An adventurous story about how you sometimes have to lose (almost) everything to find the thing that's most important.

Pit and his sister Lena are bored on holiday in Greece. Their parents are always quarrelling, and there are no other children on the beach. But then Pit and Lena have the good fortune to find the wizard Zervan. He has been hiding away from the world on a tiny island for two hundred and fifty years – or rather, he has been hiding his nose. Because it is so huge and fiery red that it takes Pit and Lena's breath away when they first see it. Zervan is terribly ashamed of this protuberance, which a wicked rival has stuck on his face by a magic spell. Lena feels sorry for him, and has a brilliant idea. That is the start of an adventurous journey on a flying carpet.
A story for children of 8 and upwards, told by Pit and Lena themselves.
