Nilo's fairytale
Nilo's Märli is a radio play series created by Danilo Neve alias Nilo in Swiss dialect language , which is dedicated to everyday topics of children. The focus is usually on the little knight Schlötterli, who has to face new adventures. One by one, well-known Swiss personalities from television, cinema and music appear among the speakers who take on guest roles.
History of production
During his social work studies in Zurich ( ZHAW ), the author was intensively involved in scientific research on fairy tales and their functions for the psychosocial development of children. In his bachelor thesis “The fairy tale in the after-school care center” he compared different narrative forms - personal narration and listening from a sound carrier - and examined how the child can benefit from the different narrative forms. The author and his production team implemented the knowledge gained from this in the first series of radio plays, “De Ritter Schlötterli im Häxewald”.

Episode 6 - Juhu, it's snowing!
CD release: October 20, 2017
content
Episode 6 is a "Christmas Special" and is structured as an audio book with 17 tracks. In it, Nilo's Märli author Danilo Neve tells short stories about winter, Christmas and forest dwellers. Funny protagonists like the rabbit Röbi, the bear Artur or the boxer dog Bruno guarantee a good mood, lots of fun - and one or the other instructive episode.
Someone should still have a clear view! The rabbit Röbi loses his glasses in the dark of the night and asks his new friend, a little star, for help. Together they look for Röbis visual aids in the snow-covered undergrowth - and wake up all the “residents”. While the search develops into a happy forest festival, a girl and her father observe the cheerful scenery. When they accidentally stumble over Röbis glasses, they join the nightly Christmas feast without further ado.
The young boxer dog Bruno struts through the Christmas room with his snout raised. Since he is a dangerous dog, the world must tremble before him. His roommate, the frog Jakob, has a different opinion and remains very little impressed by the youngster's demeanor. Bruno ventures his anger over this in the open air - in the company of a garden gnome. Amongst other things...
Hold out until Christmas Eve? Impossible! So Leo sets out to personally pick up his quadrocopter (a remote-controlled flying toy) from Santa Claus today. Unfortunately, he gets lost in the forest, and instead of Nicholas he meets a mysterious dwarf. He knows firstly the card game UNO, and secondly, a way out of the thicket. When Leo is finally allowed to fly in a real police helicopter, the drama also has a happy ending for the worried parents. And Leo learns that patience pays off after all.
Frightening has to be learned: the good-natured monster Grummel passes his school leaving examination. It has to sneak into a child's room and scare a boy. When Grummel meets the boy, the two discover common interests. They become friends and experience anything but scary time. Thanks to a trick, Grummel still successfully completes his exam.
