Excerpt from Schatzkästlein Des Rheinischen Hausfreundes To our knowledge Hebel's Schatzkastlein has here tofore never been republished in the United States. This might be termed a sin of omission, because Johann Peter Hebel (born 1760, died 1826) counts among the dominant masters of German prose. Every reader in Germany loved and still loves Hebel for the humor and the sincere purpose of his writings, and every critic lauds and commends the classic simplicity and beauty of his style. He endeavored successfully to provide entertainment and enlightenment for the so-called middle class of his countrymen, and the grace with which he did so has not been surpassed or even attained by any other German author. He was the friend and the poet of the people and for the people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
