Divshiya Ve'Rabbi Dov Ber – the First Hebrew Edition of 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears', with Nice Illustrations – Warsaw, the 1920's – Extremely Rare, does not Appear in Libraries in Israel – a Wonderful Discovery!
A lovely picturesque translation of the well-known children's story 'Goldilocks and the Three Bears' which is attributed (most likely by mistake) to the Grimm Brothers. With wonderful illustrations. Printed in Warsaw during the 1920's. Translated by Natan Levin.
Rareness: An extremely rare booklet. Does not appear in the national Library and in other libraries in Israel! A unique item for collectors of children's books! Has never been seen in auctions.
Importance: Some scholars have mentioned the Omanut edition 1930 as the first translation of the story into Hebrew. However, the edition before us preceded the edition of 1930.
9 pp. printed with an additional story – A Tale about a Stepmother. Together – 15pp. 17.5cm.
Condition: Good. Tears and stains.
