Else Ury's Nesthäkchen is a Berlin doctor's daughter, Annemarie Braun, a slim, golden blond, quintessential German girl. The ten book series follows Annemarie from infancy (Nesthäkchen and Her Dolls) to old age and grandchildren (Nesthäkchen with White Hair). This third volume of the series tells the story of ten-year-old Annemarie's bout of scarlet fever and her recovery in a North Sea children's sanitorium, just before the outbreak of World War I.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"The context of the surrounding social setting is fascinating--a snapshot of a vanished world presented with charming, black-and-white period illustrations. Ury's narrative tone is amusingly sardonic at times--affectionate but assessing, as it aims to appeal to both children and their parents. Her portraits of the various adults that Annemarie encounters are refreshingly textured; they're not the one-dimensional authority figures that were more typical of children's books of the time. The story also handles Annemarie's shifting emotions, from feeling forlorn to gradually coming to like many people at Wittdün, in a lively, often charming way. It's easy to see why this series might have been so popular with German families nearly a century ago." Kirkus Reviews

My children LOVE Nesthakchen!!!!!!

Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2015

Verified Purchase

Nesthäkchen and the World War: First English Translation of the German Children's Classic is a homeschool FAVORITE so we are eager to read this one!!!! My ten year old son actually asked me to purchase more books in this series if that tells you anything! That is rare for him! He and my 13 year old daughter actually act out parts of the book when they play. They both love Nesthakchen! Have only found these two books translated into English so far. My son says that if more are not translated soon then he will have to learn German! Wow! That should say something! ... I normally would not ever review a book I had not yet read. Wrote a review for Nesthäkchen and the World War but accidentally posted it under this title which we also purchased. Could not figure out how to delete it so had to resort to just changing it. Will add to this review once we have actually read the book but if it is anything like the other one we read, I am sure it will also be five stars. Sorry for the inconvenience. My mistake.
