Maria Krüger's 'Karolcia' first published in 1959. It is a chapter book with fabulous ink drawings scattered through it. Karolcia is an eight-year-old girl who finds a magical blue bead that fulfils her every wish. The girl and her friend Peter use the bead to spread happiness to other people.
If you like this, you might enjoy the black and white illustrations made by Dutch illustrator Fiep Westendorp. I've been collecting her books and work for over 30 years :)
