A little reader, probably following a primer, which begins with harder vowel combination in block letters, proceeds to roman type with syllables separated and ends long passages in the older writing style. Early passages are traditional rhymes or writing original to Caspari; later passages include other authors. Along the way are charming pictures by Caspari of a child's life in Germany just before WWI.
