A German version of the book Ten Little Niggers with scenary that is definitely Germanic in many illustrations; this is a variation of the Ten Little Indians counting rhyme. Charming illustrations do not compensate for the deeply disturbing sentiment of the rhymes. Of the 14 copies held worldwide in WorldCat libraries, only two located in the U.S.A.
