Book Meme, Day 20

One of them, anyway, since I can’t narrow it down to only one. But here’s the original cover of Erich Kästner’s Emil und die Detektive. Pure 1920s and Neue Sachlichkeit, but also playful, and the look remained associated with Erich Kästner novels for decades to come. The cover was created by Walter Trier, who as opposed to Kästner did go into exile and died there.
More Trier covers for Kästner I’m also fond of: Here’s Das Fliegende Klassenzimmer, and here Pünktchen und Anton.
