German author Alfred Henschke (1890 - 1928) known by his pen name, Klabund, wrote more than two dozen plays. Quoting Wikipedia: "The name Klabund goes back to a north and northeast German name and was devised by him and others as a combination of Klabautermann (a devious hobgoblin of German folklore) and Vagabund (vagabond)." Illustrated by Georg Mayer-Marton. Mayer-Marton (1897 - 1960) was a Jewish artist working in Vienna when he created the illustrations for Die Kredekreis in 1928. He emigrated to England in 1939.
