Am Anfang war das Huhn #[nn]

A charming 1976 German-language collection of picture stories (*Bildergeschichten*) from Insel Verlag, this volume — number 185 in the Insel Taschenbuch series — bears the playful title *Am Anfang war das Huhn* ("In the Beginning Was the Chicken"). The understated cover, credited entirely to Arturo Heras, keeps things quietly inviting, letting the wit of the title do the talking. At 6.00 DEM, it's a compact slice of illustrated storytelling from the mid-1970s European paperback tradition.
