The Amazing Appenzell Family

My grandmother's name was Eugenie. Eugenie Appenzell. From her, I inherited long curly hair and, they say, my rather strong character. A few days before my birth, grandmother Eugenie left her loved ones. She left me a box full of photographs and letters.

“So you could know your family,” she wrote to me.

Over the years, I was able to unravel the connections and untangle the intrigues linking these extraordinary people. I cried and laughed… Today I will tell you their story. My story.

The story of the amazing Appenzell family.

Five reasons to read:

1. A sensual and touching story that blends realistic fiction, fantasy, and poetry.
2. Captivating illustrations by Benjamin Lacombe.
3. A gallery of strange creatures born from a cursed union, each more fantastic than the last.
4. “The Amazing Appenzell Family” is a treasury of odd people and stories corresponding to their personalities.
5. A book that shows that real monsters are not at all what they seem.
