Když jsem já sloužil
Praze, Praha, Prague: Nakladatelstvi Gustav Volesky, , 1936, probably 1st thus; matte boards with a painting of the man and all his happy animal friends, on the back each spread has the verse in blue capital letters with a small black and white leporello above so we can see the progression of the animals. Czech language hardback.
A cumulative folksong in which the young man works every summer for a new farm animal and finally marries his girl with all the animals decked out in attendance. Detailed paintings with Scheider's realistic amusing animals somewhat like Leslie Brooke's, and unlike his successionist fairy tale illustrations. On the back 14 comical Czech Kulihrášek books listed and 2 Janko Hraskova in Slovak. Not common in jacket.
