The story Dira Lehaskir (A Flat for Rent) first appeared in "Mishmar LiYeladim," on October 22nd, 1948.
Only eleven years later, in 1959, the story was first published as the first entry in the Halon series of Sifriyat HaPoalim, featuring illustrations by Shoshana Heiman. The book was apparently published as a reaction to the Wadi Salib riots, a protest of Israelis of 'Oriental' origin against discrimination and deprivation and against the Mapai rule.
It took another eleven years until in 1970 the story was reissued with new illustrations by Shmuel Katz, and became a classic.
The illustrations in this book, by Shoshana Heiman, are in two colors - the first being black and the second alternating between red and yellow.
[16] pages, including paper cover. Flaws with loss to title page. Slight stains.
