I’ve always wanted to go to this book fair. I lived in Germany and never even made it but someday I hope for that to change. It’s supposed to be a great time, especially if you’re in the industry.
A couple of years ago I read an article in a Magazine about a small village in Germany or Austris where All the people in this small village walk through the main street of this small town on Christmas eve and up a hill to a chapel where they sing carols to celebrate. I have been wanting to find this place ever since. Any ideas where this is ? Barbara Wareham
