About the author

Wolfgang Hohlbein is a German author of science fiction, fantasy and horror fiction who lives near Neuss, North Rhine-Westphalia. His wife, Heike, is also a writer and often works with her husband. She often comes up with the story ideas and therefore is generally credited as co-author. Their daughter, Rebecca, is also a writer.

Writing short stories since age 15, Hohlbein was first recognized as an author after sending in a manuscript he and his wife had written at a fantasy and science fiction writing contest in 1982. They won and their book, Märchenmond (English title: "Magic Moon"), was published by Ueberreuter Publishing, soon becoming a bestseller and winning several awards. It is one of their greatest successes till today.

Many of his more than 200 books are translated and published in many European countries as well as in South Korea. Yet for many years none of his works had been translated into English. In 2006, Magic Moon was translated into English and published in the United States.

[Kathrin · Rating 5 out of 5]

i love how in these books one teenager usually happens to find a lost world just somewhere. with all the old lost magic still in it. and always a figh for saving the old world (and sometimes the new world...)

I read this book over and over again when I was fifteen. Loved it. I have it on my bookshelf but havent touched it for years. I wonder would I still love it as much as before? Or would my age make a difference.

One of the most impressive books from my childhood. Also wondering, how it would read now. Will surely re-read.

[Natascha · Rating 4 out of 5]

A fantastic book with a twist at the end that I didn't see coming. It was a really great read. Here and there a bit long maybe and some things were repeated two or three times, but it was good.

Loved it as a teenager, somehow thought I lost it. Found it again a few years ago and re-read it. Still love it. And I was astounded by the amount of things I had forgotten, all the plot twists.
