This is a translation of the first edition of the book published by Yidischer Folksfarlag in Kiev/Petersburg Russia in 1918/1919. The story deals with Yingl Tsingl, a very small person like Tom thomb who is pluckly and daring (Khvat). Chafing from the endless, rainy fall weather, he manages to bring a welcome winter to the Shtetl. This first edition lacks the contructivistic title page in the 2nd edition published in Warsaw in 1922. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
