Ein Nashorn namens Clara

Rhinoceros Clara was a sensation in the 18th century. The Dutch captain Douwe van der Meer brought the female rhinoceros from India and traveled with her across Europe. Clara captured the hearts of people who saw a rhinoceros for the first time. A genuine hype developed around the rhinoceros. It was painted, and there were coins and porcelain figures of Clara. Princes admired her, and in Paris, fashionable ladies wore wigs styled like a rhinoceros. Katrin Hirt has meticulously researched Clara's story and created a loving narrative for children. Laura Fuchs loves illustrating historical tales and has designed opulent and detailed images for "A Rhinoceros Named Clara.".
