Alongside his work with the Camphill movement, Karl König was a prolific
writer of stories, poems and meditative verses. This book contains a
selection of his creative work, including verses for specific occasions,
twenty-four poems, four stories for children and ten other short
stories, including 'Also a Christmas Story'.
An extensive introductory essay explores the cultural environments in
which König was writing - including Vienna in the early twentieth
century, and the challenging times leading up to the Second World War in
Europe - and discusses the creative development of his literary work.
