Island of Figures

A little girl in Japan receives a doll from her father for her birthday. When the girl is older, the doll is placed on the waves of the sea in a small boat. Apparently a tradition to mark the transition to a new phase of life into adulthood. The girl's brother is present at this farewell to the doll, and suddenly he rushes into the waves to place his lion in the boat as another companion for the doll. He manages to do that, but then disappears forever into the dark sea.
Some time later, another girl travels after her missing doll, and an exciting, adventurous journey begins with an unusual, surprising end.

After graduating from high school in Berlin, I studied medicine in Berlin and Munich and worked in medicine for around 40 years after my studies. I have been retired since the end of 2022. During my professional career, I also wrote some manuscripts, a book for young people, children's books, novels and poems.
Some have since been self-published.
