WINNETOU I II - IIIKarl May (1842-1912)Karl May was one of the most popular German writers of all time, noted mainly for books set in the American Wild West, in the 18th and 19th century.It was Young Adult Literature in 1950/60; I owe it to Karl May and his adventure books to discover my love for reading at the age of 12 to 14.
