My first dime novel I bought is this. Toni der Hüttenwirt #52. Very good cover pic. 12 yo twins Polly and Patrick. The girl looking older and wears light blue bibs, shortalls or skirtalls. Very handsome boy but not in bibs. Unfortunately no mentionings of bibs inside and no more illustrations. And no details about cover photographer or kids. (Only the note that cover has nothing to do with the content). Also good for photoshopping (note the nose region of the boy. Looks like already photoshopped). Set in Austria but publisher in Germany.
There are many different kinds of dime novels. This is a romance with alpine setting. Some covers depicting boys and men in Lederhosen. There are also other genres like aristocracy, medical, and medical in alpine setting (Bergdoktor) or medical in alpine setting and aristocrat kids. Of course also traditional dime novels like crime, horror, western and the like.
Probably a typical drama plot here. Kids run away, new relationship after divorce. Happy end.
Some novels of this series are available even for free as ebooks (at some time, not this one) but I prefer real books. Update: The digital edition has a different pic. I also found another, younger girl sitting on the grass
