Fairy tale by Hans Christian Andersen telling the story of a Chinese emperor who falls in love with the song of the nightingale, and the calamity that ensues when he exchanges the song of the live nightingale for that of a "toy, a work of art – a small nightingale, fashioned by a skilled craftsman and made to appear just like a live nightingale."

All the books in this series were printed using lithographic print, most in a beautiful large format, and the visual aspect in them was perhaps more important than the literary content" (Ayala Gordon, "Hebrew Illustrations", 2005, p. 90; Hebrew).

Ve-Ayeh Ani? ["And Where am I?"], [by Jehudah Steinberg]. Frankfurt-am-Main – Moscow – Odessa: Omanut, Sifriyah Gamliel, 1922. Hebrew.
An original story by Jehudah Steinberg, telling the tale of Menashe, the forgetful boy. Illustrations by "Chavurat Tsayarim, Apter, Mutzelmacher, Kravtsov, Higer" (Ya'akov Apter, Moshe Mutzelmacher, Aharon Kravtsov, and Hayyim [Yefim] Higer).
This book was published as part of the "Gamliel" series produced by the "Omanut" publishing house. The books in the series were described as "the first Hebrew books intended for kindergarten children, and they included large colorful pictures the likes of which had not appeared until then in any Hebrew book. All the books in this series were printed using lithographic print, most in a beautiful large format, and the visual aspect in them was perhaps more important than the literary content" (Ayala Gordon, "Hebrew Illustrations", 2005, p. 90; Hebrew).
[8] ff. (including cover), approx. 21X27 cm. Good condition. Minor stains. Blemished spine; missing staples (leaves partly detached). Edges slightly trimmed.
