Abstract
That this is a popular story is attested to by the fact that this is the second independent publication of it I have found. The other, from 1954, has the same title and was done by the Kinderbuchverlag in East Berlin. Like that work, this one has lively hedgehog illustrations. Here they remind one of Steiff's great hedgehog characters. Neither the text nor the illustrations run into the problems caused in the other version by allowing the wife hedgehog wife to wear a distinguishing babushka when she is supposed to look exactly like her husband! In fact, a particular picture is given on the upper right of 3 to show how alike the two are. The strategy of the race is clear to the reader from the start in this version, and the repeated hedgehog-line has its effect: Ich bin schon da! In this version the hare does seventy-four laps, and then his pride brings him death. Apparently Sadler's musical version first appeared in a publication from the Mannheim Musikverlag.
