Let flowers speak!

When flowers talk and brooms are served for dinner – welcome to the wonderful world of idioms! ­ It started quite harmlessly: a conversation with someone whose native language is not German.  ‘“Let flowers speak,” I said – and my counterpart smiled blissfully: “Can flowers speak for you? How fantastic!“And that's exactly where the idea for this book was born: What happens when we suddenly take our favorite sayings literally? ­ Imagine if someone really had their eye on someone. ( Ouch!)Or you literally fall from the clouds – right onto the nearest park bench. We meet monkeys in a china shop, stand helplessly on a gigantic garden hose and wonder why everyone doesn't understand a thing. ­ In this anthology, we turn idioms into lively, quirky, and wonderfully absurd stories—a literal playground for language lovers and fantasists. A book for everyone who likes to think outside the box.
