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

Did German-speakers of Cz. really call our Karel Čapek 'Karl Czapek'? Gorblimey, as some of us London Czechs might say...

1) In the teenth also Karl Czapek , Felix Dahn, Robert Kraft and all sort
of Westerns like Cooper (Lederstrumpf),

2) also Tarzan, Excentric Club, the adventures of the submarine Dox as
they were published once a week, "the three Italian scouts" all translated
into Romanian.

3) Before that the weekly Schmetterling, Papagei or Kiebitz that came from
Germany or Austria. I never read Anderssen or Grimm myself, but had to hear
them read to me by diverse members of the family, mainly mother and aunts.

Then of course the obligatory poems by Schiller and Heine, first
infiltrated by other's recitation. Fortunately Goethe was considered to be
too deep to be assimilated by young minds. Probably the older ones had the
same problem - so I suppose that similar to myself very few Cz. ever read
the "Faust".

Still my vote goes to Erich Kaestner for the most read author in the
1930th, both by children and parents (or at least mothers). And probably
the most formative.
