And at one point we decided it might be fun to do a novel together. Not by thinking it out and talking through it and, you know, collaborating in a serious artistic manner. Our method was simpler. One of us would write a chapter, and then the other would write a chapter to come after it, and back and forth, like that, until we had a book. It worked, and by God it was fun. The first of our efforts was A Girl Called Honey, and it started when I wrote a chapter and sent it to Don. And so on, and we stopped when we had a book and sent it to Henry Morrison.

Warum ist es am Rhein so schön? Das sagenhafte Hörspiel zum neuen Conni-Erzählband! Conni fährt mit der Familie für ein paar Tage in Urlaub. Sie lernt eine neue Freundin kennen, die den seltenen Namen Undine trägt. Und deren Mutter heißt Melusine und ist auf einem Binnenschiff auf dem Rhein unterwegs... Sind die Nixen nicht nur in alten Geschichten und Sagen anzutreffen?

Ein Camping-Ausflug mit Oma und Opa ans Meer? Klar, dass Conni sich da freut. Zumal sie Anna und Billi mitnehmen darf. Wattwanderungen, eine Leuchtturmbesichtigung und sogar ein Ausritt in den Dünen? Besser könnte es nicht sein! Doch dann passiert es: Auf einmal ist Connis kleiner Bruder Jakob verschwunden! Und dabei hatte sie doch auf ihn aufpassen sollen... Es wird ihm doch nichts passiert sein.

Conni geht zum Arzt - und dabei ist sie gar nicht krank! Sie geht mit Mama zur Vorsorgeuntersuchung. Mama und Papa erklären Conni ganz genau, was passieren wird, und gemeinsam bereiten sie sich auf den Arztbesuch vor. In Doktor Bärmanns Praxis wird Conni gemessen und gewogen, sie darf ein bisschen spielen und beantwortet viele Fragen. Am Ende macht sie noch einen witzigen Hörtest und kann beweisen, dass sie supergute Augen hat. So vergeht der Kinderarztbesuch wie im Fluge und Conni weiß schon, was sie später einmal werden möchte.

Endlich bekommt Conni Taschengeld. Jedes Geldstück wirft sie in ihr dickes Sparschwein. Und wenn das voll ist, kauft sich Conni das kleine Spielzeugpony mit dem Geheimversteck.

Endlich Sommer! Mit Connis Eltern geht es ans Meer  -  Zelten! Es dauert gar nicht lange, bis das Zelt steht. Dann gibt es erst einmal eine Limonade, denn bei der Hitze kommen auch Mama und Papa ganz schön ins Schwitzen. Aber einfach nur in der Sonne zu braten, ist Conni zu langweilig. Sie zieht's an den Strand: Steine sammeln, eine Sandburg bauen und den Aussichtsturm mit Kieseln verzieren. Und am Strand macht Conni auch noch andere Entdeckungen als nur Kiesel und Steine.
