A little ghost brings great reading enjoyment

On October 26, 2026, the Göttingen City Library invites children and families to a special reading hour at its Nikolausberg branch. Henning Andreae presents Otfried Preußler's picture book story The Little Ghost: Tohuwabohu at Eulenstein Castle with the Kamishibai storytelling theater.

When the witching hour comes alive

At midnight, the little ghost awakens and discovers that everything in the castle museum has been reorganized. Amidst exhibits, surprising twists, and cheerful chaos, a heartfelt adventure begins that immediately draws young listeners into the world of the story.

Kamishibai as a literary experience

The Kamishibai combines the spoken language of the reading with large-format picture panels. This creates an intimate reading atmosphere where voice, image, and narrative tension interplay. The linguistic artistry of the story, its humorous style, and clear dramaturgy make the format particularly accessible for children of reading age.

Promoting literature with imagination and feeling

The event represents a lively promotion of reading: literature is not just read aloud but experienced as a shared event. The story playfully conveys courage, friendship, and the power to tackle difficult situations together. This opens an age-appropriate access to children's literature and the cultural significance of reading aloud.

Conclusion: Dive into the world of stories together

Visitors can expect a cozy reading corner, an imaginative ghost story, and a literary experience for the whole family. Those who love reading aloud, picture book art, and vibrant storytelling will enjoy an inspiring author encounter with the Kamishibai storytelling theater in Nikolausberg. Participation is free, and no registration is required; seats are allocated as long as they last.
