This publication after the original of 1905, has been re-published by the [Amsterdam] Provo-movement. Apart from the original title on front wrapper a new title has been added at head of front wrapper:"De eerste Witte Uitgave voor Kinderen", and is, in fact, just as the 1905 original a story on gnomes, related to the so-called "Kabouter-movement", incorporated into "Provo". On outer lower wrap a "Provo" slogan has been printed:"Koopt Witte Waar dan steunt het Tuig Elkaar!". The original 1905 edn. present in Dutch Royal Library, KB, this Provo-publication not present. The conception of the term "Provo", was originally introduced by [professor] W. Buikhuisen. A good to very good copy. A very rare Provo item.
