Yesterday I made a serendipitous find: a cartoon book, lost for years, that my grandfather made for me at (best guess) age 4. It records (imaginatively!) some scenes from my early years. This picture, from the first page, is titled: "Continental train to Harwich". Here's the accompanying verse, translated from German: "We're travelling in the train / The driver's driving, fast as he can / It appears that the man didn't take care / His foot is off, now he's close to tears." (Click on it to enlarge).
