Alsace is a region in the east of modern-day France which changed hands four times between France and Germany in the 19th and 20th centuries. When Jean-Jacques Waltz ('Hansi') was born in 1873, it was two years since the Prussian army had marched into Alsace, and the province remained under German annexation until the end of the First World War.Hansi remembered his years at the German school in Colmar as among the worst of his life. Above all, he hated the history lessons in which the teacher forced the French pupils to learn about Prussian conquests and the defeat and humiliation of Alsace. Nothing was ever said about the glorious and happy past when Alsace was a free land, joined to the ancient region of Gaul with its Celtic races.In 1912, Hansi decided to write his own History of Alsace for children. He wanted to show them how much pride they could have in their past, and to hear the story from their own side. The first edition was published in Paris and was a great success, though as a result of its satirical gibes at all things German, Hansi was given a heavy fine and warning from the German authorities in Colmar. Soon afterwards he was given a year’s prison sentence for 'insulting the German officer corps'.The present book is a hand-picked selection from Hansi's L'Histoire d'Alsace and his L'Alsace Heureuse written in 1919 to celebrate the province's return to freedom. It is full of Hansi's trademark colourful and detailed pictures of Alsatian life, as well as his critical but humorous portrayal of the occupying Germans. The text is suitable for children from about eight years old, but will equally be appreciated by adults.

Excerpt from book: AUTHOR'S PREFACE In my trips across Alsace I had stopped only for a passing glance at the cathedral of Strasburg and the museum of Colmar. A species of apprehension had always prevented me from making any stay. The Germans continually announced that their conquest was definitely Germanized, and certain French travelers, after a brief sojourn beyond the Vosges, brought us the same news. I feared the bitter sadness of such a spectacle. It is grievous to feel oneself a foreigner in a land which was once French, more grievous still to meet as foreigners the sons of those who once were Frenchmen. But, one day, Les OberU of M. Rene' Bazin brought us the assurance that the moral annexation was not yet complete, that the Alsatian youth remained faithful to the memory of the former fatherland. Then I resolved to know Alsace. The Industrial Society of Mulhouse gave me the opportunity, by inviting me to deliver a lecture before it. Under its sponsorship, I found the Alsatians ready to guide me and to guard me against the illusions and mistakes to which one is exposed in a country where everything is complicated and embroiled by a diversity of religions, of parties, and of interests. Since 1903, I have made several trips in Alsace, and each time I have published the haphazard notes which I made in my journeys. I reproduce them today in the form and order in which they originally appeared. I could not dream of turning them into a description of Alsace: it would have presented too many gaps. I have also thought that the reader would follow me more willingly if I treated him as a traveling companion and made him the associate of my emotions and of my discoveries. I beg the Alsatians who were my guides and who became my friends to find here the expression of my deep gratitude. They reveal..

PICTURE BOOKS. This is not a made-up village, it really exists. It was the village where Jean-Jacques Waltz, best know as Hansi, lived. The beautiful, colourful and detailed pictures in this book show Alsatian adults and children in their traditional dress, going about their traditional lives in harmony with their surroundings. They are patriotic, kind, and always smiling, despite their difficult circumstances, and they honour the values handed down through the generations. In contrast, the Germans are portrayed as brash and self-indulgent, imposing petty laws on the villagers as well as trying to impose German culture. Hansi's satire, however, is always humourous, and the book is a joy throughout. Sharp-eyed readers will enjoy spotting the subtle references in his illustrations. The text is suitable for children aged from about eight years old, but will equally be appreciated by adults.
