Die schwarzen Brüder: Erlebnisse und Abenteuer eines kleinen Tessiners | 
I never new that this novel for children was based on real life events of poor Swiss children who were sold by their parents, left their rural homes and worked as chimney sweepes in Italy. They were chosen because they fitted into the chimneys. I learned this in the Swiss Landesmuseum in Zurich.
