A New Book for Old Legends
30 Myths and Legends with a Twist
Mysterious figures, eerie places, and puzzling events characterize numerous myths and legends from the Münsterland region. Thirty stories from the region were selected for the book *Schlossgespenst und Gräftengeist*.
Two authors retell these traditional stories. Thirty illustrators from Münster and the Münsterland region create diverse visual worlds and give the regional tales a contemporary feel.
The resulting volume combines regional cultural heritage, modern design, and historical settings. The book is aimed at readers of all ages. Publication is scheduled for spring 2027.
