The first of a three volume educational adventure story by Alois Sonnleitner, whose covers and extensive illustrations were designed by Fritz Jaeger between 1919 and 1920, just after he returned from Italian captivity as a prisoner of war. The books describe the survival of two youngsters cut off from civilization, paralleling human progress from the stone age to modern time, starting in Volume 1 with their life in caves. The trilogy became a classic in German children's literature, was reissued in multiple editions before and after World War II, was made into a German, then an Italian TV series, and is still in print.

In the second volume the youngsters have learned to construct a pile dwelling in an Alpine lake.

In the third and last volume they have progressed to a rough stone house - not too different from poor peasant dwellings.

Sonnleitner's largely autobiographical 'Koja' trilogy describing his and his families' struggles before he became a successful reform pedagogue, naturalist and author was also extensively illustrated by Fritz Jaeger. This first volume, 'Das Haus der Sehnsucht', appeared in 1922.
