The Totally True Story About the Centaur Who Wanted to Come Home for Christmas

It is the 1st of December and the snow has just started to fall. Through the cold night, Ken Taur gallops on his way home to the centuries’ secret kingdom. He has been away from his family for a long time, but he is determined not to celebrate one more Christmas without them. If only the road hadn’t felt so long, if only the darkness had not been so deep, if he just hadn’t been so very, very alone …

But Ken will not be alone for long. On the way he meets several characters from the world of fairy tales, and he learns that one should not believe in everything one reads.

The Totally True Story About the Centaur Who Wanted to Come Home for Christmas is published in Rabén & Sjögren’s series Advent Calendar books. Each year in October a calendar book is published and Mats Strandberg and Sofia Falkenhem has created a story for the whole family. With 24 chapters, one a day, the wait for Christmas will be a little bit more bearable for young and old Christmas lovers. The book about Ken Taur is an exciting, thought-provoking and evocative story about friendship, homesickness and how difficult it can be to distinguish stories from truth. And just like in the Frank the Monster Trilogy, Sofia Falkenhem has made the characters come alive with beautiful illustrations.
