The background to the creation of the PUNJA & TASHI fairytale novel trilogy is noted on Instagram.

Johanna Arven (real name Beate Nagel) writes about her personal path, which led her to Buddhism at the age of 22. Then - 30 years later - she discovers her own roots and learns to see them more and more in an overall view: her Book VATER UNSER LAND (Father Our Country), ART PARFUM Verlag (open link).
