He was certainly popular with his readers. However, between 1933 and 1945,
many of his books, especially the satirical ones, were banned and he was
repeatedly arrested on political grounds.

Kästner died in 1974.

"Emil und die Detektive" appeared in 1929, and the sequel "Emil und die drei
Zwillinge" appeared in 1934.
