Wein: Phaidon-Verlag spiel in 5 akten nach dem Chinesischen The Chalk Circle A play in 5 acts based on the Chinese Text is in German. 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. His paintings hang in numerous museums in Great Britain and Europe. Der Kredekreis was first performed in 1925. The book is an 8vo size Chinese stitched binding: black hardcover with gilt titles on spine and gilt titles and gilt and white decorations on front cover.
