Abstract

en_US
Here is the second lovely rendition of this beloved story that I found in one visit to Antiquariat Ihring. This version, like the other from Hübener Verlag in 1947, places the race on the Buxtehuder Heide (22). The special gift of this edition lies in its fourteen carefully executed color illustrations. None of the characters here is clothed, although the lead hedgehog does smoke a long-stemmed pipe. The illustration on the very first page of text shows Grandfather narrating the story. As he does so, he blows smoke-rings of the hedgehog and hare (9). The illustration of the hedgehog family is particularly endearing (16). One of the children rides a miniature hobby-horse. The image of the heath on 18 gives a good visual clue as to the hedgehog's ploy. In the second-to-last illustration, one of the hedgehogs pops open a bottle of beer. Unfortunately, the pages are separating from the spine. I guess at a date of 1935 because the book is printed in Fraktur Gothic script. The title-page is even one step harder to decipher, since it uses what I think we should call handwritten Fraktur.
