The Old House and Other Stories

By Gerda Christensen

With a delightful collection of short stories, Gerda takes the reader through some of her favorite memories. Stories include tales of her life in Denmark, accounts of her travel adventures in different parts of the world, and personal reflections on times with her family. She has masterfully built stories around historical events and shares her experiences with the diverse cultures she has encountered during her travels. Touching on times of both triumph and loss, the stories are peppered with humor, love, and a touch of nostalgia.
