Traditional children's story/rhyme about ten children who one by one have a calamity leaving only one at the end. This edition was considered highly inappropriate when it was published as one of the children - all of whom were black- was portrayed as a monkey. Hence this version is often referred to as the "Monkey Edition". Verses written in German.
This is a rare and collectible edition of "Zehn kleine Negerlein". The hardcover binding is adorned with beautiful illustrations that bring the classic story to life. The book is in its original form and was printed in 1926 by Pestalozzi in Germany. It is a must-have for collectors of children's books and those interested in German language literature. The book is in excellent shape and would make a great addition to any collection.
