Try this one:

Hans goes on a trip to find his mum, gets a glass to see through while told he will need it and a book about fizz.

I expended the description to give you something more to work with.

Be, I'm struggling with this. Is it an English book?

While I'm trying to work out Be's have a go at this one:

A Book Man Falls in Love With Boy and Dies in Old Town With Just Boats

davina: Death In Venice by Thomas Mann.

or, of course, Tod in Venedig, as we call it.

Well done! Any idea about Be's one?

Not the slightest idea. I can't recall a book with a protagonist called Hans who searches for his mother. And what about a looking glass? No idea, sorry.

The author is of Norwegian origin. He began as philosophy teacher.
