Peiter, Peter, and Peer, E-bok
We all know that storks bring babies to their parents, what we often do not know is what happens to these children once they have arrived with their family. So, I asked a stork about this and she told me the story of the Peitersen family, to whom she had delivered three sons: Pieter, Peter and Peer.Hans Christian Andersen (1805-1875) was a Danish author, poet and artist. Celebrated for children’s literature, his most cherished fairy tales include 'The Emperor's New Clothes', 'The Little Mermaid', 'The Nightingale', 'The Steadfast Tin Soldier', 'The Snow Queen', 'The Ugly Duckling' and 'The Little Match Girl'. His books have been translated into every living language, and today there is no child or adult that has not met Andersen's whimsical characters. His fairy tales have been adapted to stage and screen countless times, most notably by Disney with the animated films "The Little Mermaid" in 1989 and "Frozen", which is loosely based on "The Snow Queen", in 2013. Thanks to Andersen's contribution to children's literature, his birth date, April 2, is celebrated as International Children's Book Day.

Peter-Peter, E-bok
Erään rakkauden asiapaperit. Sanna Auhto on pikkukaupungin kirjastonhoitaja, leski ja yksinhuoltaja. Peter Mackus on lääkäri ja runoilija, keski-ikäinen perheenisä. He ovat kumpikin Ruotsissa asuvia ulkomaalaisia. Sanna ja Peter tapaavat yhteisissä kulttuuririennoissa ja aloittavat kirjeenvaihdon. Pian on kyse enemmästäkin: paperirakkaus johtaa eroottiseen suhteeseen, salaisten tapaamisten kauniiseen mutta nöyryyttävään kauteen. Romanssi päättyy yhtä yllättävästi kuin on alkanutkin: postilaatikko ja puhelin vaikenevat. Vihasta selvittyään Sanna terästäytyy näkemään suhteen sellaisena kuin se todella oli.Peter-Peter ilmestyi alun perin vuonna 1971. Siinä kuvattu rakkaustarina on elävä osa Aila Meriluodon kiitettyä päiväkirjateosta Vaarallista kokea. Päiväkirjat vuosilta 1953-1975 (1996).
