This picture book for children and grown-ups, with its almost surrealistic texts and high quality, fresh and humorous illustrations, outranks much of children's books published in the late twenties in the Netherlands. Its humour and art show a very modern, timeless sensibility. Rare; the whole edition limited to 100 numbered copies (our copy # 84) on 'Simili Japon', signed by the illustrator Nelly Bodenheim (1874-1951) underneath the colophon. - De hele Bibelebontse berg, p. 563.€ 500
