During six years, when artist Joachim Voigts, along with thousands of other fellow Germans from South West Africa, was interned in South African prison camps for civilians, he illustrated and rhymed animal fables for his children. In the 1970s his timeless poetry and beautiful drawings were published by Gamsberg in Windhoek under a German title, soon became very popular and have been reprinted several times since. This timeless and beautiful book is suitable to children and adults of any age.
