[Topjon A5] *This was Larsson's first international success, the coloured illustrations being an amalgamation from his first three albums, Ett hem, Larssons, and Spadarvet. 'This publication focuses not on the interior decoration of the Larsson's home, but on his children and the family's life, as [the publisher] Langewiesche felt this would have a greater appeal to the German public.... The story is told that German soldiers carried both the Bible and Das Haus in der Sonne onto the battlefield during World War I as a comforting reminder of home' (Topjon, p. 12]. Item #150586
