Book 132: Wingert: Fritzchen Frisch im Försterhaus


Another vintage book, I recently bought and already have completely read. This 1973 book is part 2/2 in a series and more were probably planned. Unfortunately no mentionings of bibs scenes inside. It's illustrated by famous Walter Rieck (same as the cover), but no more bibs inside.

Book 1 (Fritzchen Frisch und seine Streiche - Ferienwochen mit Schwung und Pfiff = and his pranks holiday weeks with power) showing the boy in bibs jumping over a fence, but I assumed bibs scenes rather in book 2 due to the forest setting.

A typical but rather weak adventure book for boys and girls aged 10 and up. Thick 144 pages. Plot: Boy and girl visiting twice their uncle, who also has 2 kids. Robber and school plot. The 1st book obviously has a summer holiday setting. Publisher Neuer Jugendschriften-Verlag, Karo Buch book series.

The author also wrote "Klein, aber pfiffig" (young boy in bibs, I mentioned before). Probably poor or even worse. Maybe someone could/should re-write such books.
