Re: [Cz-L] What did children read?

Dear Helene ,
  As German readers all the German children literature was open to us :
  Wilhelm Busch.
  Erich Kaestner,
  Karl May.
  Ruebezahl.
    Muenchhausen,
    Till Eulenspiegel,
      Struwelpeter.
     Giants and dwarfs from the Black forests of Germany
     haunted our dreams.
      Brrrrrr,

Hardy

Subject: [Cz-L] What did children read?

Dear Listers

I am just reading a book which explains what effect English middle class
children's reading (Winnie the Pooh, Alice in Wonderland, Swallows and
Amazons etc) had on their understanding of family life in the 20s and 30s,
and from that, how it influenced their understanding of kinship.

 It occurs to me to ask what children's classics were read by the
Czernowitzers. Apart from Grimm Brothers fairy tales, are there similar
classics? And how do you remember them? Did they influence your
understanding of family life?

Thanks for any reminiscences

Helene
