Let me be clear: I am not giving one star to Erich Kastner's original, marvelous book, one of my childhood favorites. You can find that here. I am giving it to this "updated" translation, which tries to make Emil and his friends talk like 21st century kids, and gives English versions of many of the names. Emil Tischbein becomes "Emil Tabletoe," poor Pony Hutchen becomes "Pony the Hat," and Gustav is renamed "Gus" and declares "I'm pysched!" at one point.Not me. I'm not psyched. I am, in theFrom BBC radio 4 - Saturday Drama:Dramatisation by Katie Hims of the comic children's detective novel by Erich Kaestner.Country boy Emil Tischbein, up from Neustadt for the first time, enlists the aid of hundreds of Berlin street boys to help him catch a thief.
My neighbourhood of Erskineville and Newtown in Sydney is festooned with street libraries. I can find them perched on front fences in nearby quiet streets, attached to shop fronts and free standing in village spaces, all ready for the keen reader passing by. They are a rich source of treasures.I saw Erich Kastners Emil and the Detectives in one of these boxes and thought this was a title I had heard of - beyond that I knew little about it. It has in fact wide repute and its history is quite
Erich Kastner had written Emil and the Detectives originally in German. The book was very popular. But during Hitler's time, his books were branded anti-german and several copies consigned to flames. Luckily, the book outlasted those dark times and Emil survived to spy another day. Emil is one of the first fictional child detectives. Today, we have 'The Famous Five', ' Alex Rider', 'Nancy Drew... But little Emil was the first. Philip Pullman remarked that the book is ' democracy in action' and
Enjoyable children's story about young Emil who travels alone to Berlin, has his money stolen and sets off on a mission to get the money back. He gets help from lots of other children, which is what I liked the most about this book. Only children and their friendship and willingness to help saved the day.
A nostalgic hour on ebay left me with a Cathy Dennis cd, a box of panini stickers, and a beautiful 1964 paperback of Emil and the Detectives.On the introduction page it reads "Forward readers of eight could tackle it, while those in their early teens still enjoy it without wanting to disguise the fact" Well i first read when 9 or 10. And 20 years later it is still an exciting and charming read. In fact in those 20 years I have read books as enjoyable as this, but probably not enjoyed anything
This review is for the wonderful Scholastic edition, not the rotten 2007 edition . GR's stupid software updates have decided that they know better than me. For the review of the horrible 2007 edition, check the Scholastic cover. I tried to fix the confusion and made it worse. Sheesh.Aaaaahhhh, that's better.This is the translation of Emil that I grew up reading. My brother bought it from Scolastic back in the late 60s and I read it over and over again. Fast forward 3 or 4 decades and I bought it
