Bertha, a German girl, celebrates Christmas, watches toys being made and goes to a coffee-party, while her elders tell her the legends of a wicked bishop, a brave princess and Frederick the Great. A trip to Heidelberg shows her the ruined castle that American tourists come so far to admire, in a book about the land of castles, fairies, music and soldiers.
