The exceedingly popular children's magazine Hans Sundries (Hans Kunterbunt) appeared from September 1926 to (presumably) April 1941 every second Tuesday, as a supplement of the newspaper Leipziger Latest news. Every year there were 26 or 27 books. From 1939 Hans Sundries was also published separately and was available at bookshops and kiosks, both in Germany and in Austria. The retail price for the single issue was 10 Pfennig, in Austria 20 groschen. This adorable wooden figurine is hand painted with intricate details. The romantic little village of Grunhainichen lies embedded in the deep forests and gentle hills of the Erzgebirge mountains. Here, deep in the south-east of Germany, wood carving is a traditional skill with a long history. With their care-free smile and irresistible charm, the playful Blossom Kinder, heavenly angels and all the other lovely figures appeal to young and old alike, enchanting people from all walks of life.
