Although published as a complete work by itself it was so successful that Bieling published a companion volume covering different regions in 1811: Schilderung der Vornehmsten Völker.The title page mentions the work is written by the author of Unterhaltende Erzählungen für das erste Kindesalter 1809 apparently the same anonymous author who also wrote Julius merkwürdige Abentheuer 1813-1817 and Das goldene Buch für Kinder 1811 all published by Bieling in Nürnberg.The boards show very minor signs of wear the title page shows traces of earlier endleaves some very minor occasional spotting.
