Half a lifetime ago, these pictures and poems set out on their Journey through Germany, later on even crossing the ocean and landing in the New World. Meanwhile, the painter and the poetess both passed away - Berta Hummel in 1946 and Margarete Seeman in 1949.
The lovable children of their imagination have nevertheless lost nothing of their youth and are as bright and as vivid as on the very first day. They still bring life and joy into the home of everyone blessed with a feeling heart and a sense of humor.
Thanks to Hummel's delightful pictures and the crystal-clear verses of the Viennese poetess, now imagine yourself again in the happy land of your childhood. Margarete Seemann has succeeded in grasping with loving understanding the soul of the Hummel kids whose feelings and antics she expressed in their charming native language.
