Marlies Bugmann emigrated to Tasmania where she translated the famous Karl May books into English. She started out as a book illustrator and designed book covers that stood out for their bold colours and daring shapes. This led to a real passion for writing fiction: over a period of 13 years she translated the adventure novels of the German writer Karl Friedrich May from the western genre. Later, she also wrote animal tales about animals, which are typical for her adopted country. One of these books was featured in the Advent calendar last Wednesday.
If you are still looking for a suitable Christmas present for children, grandchildren, nephews, Marlies Bugmann has a suitable selection of books to read aloud or to read by the children themself. She did not only write books in English, but also in her Alemannic mother tongue: Guetnachtgschichtli. This is only suitable for southern Germans, German-speaking Swiss, Vorarlbergers and Alsatians.
Here in the forum she found help to put her books back on the market and she generously shared with us the results of her research on alternatives. Now that everything is set up again for her, she has retired to her little bench.
