Aballino Junior, of De Kleine Bandiet

Aballino Junior, of De Kleine Bandiet is a "farcical tragedy" in 3 acts, ascribed to Joseph Suasso de Lima, a parody of the 5-act tragedy Abällino der Grosse Bandit by Heinrich Zschokke.

According to Bosman, 1928, a play called Aballino Junior, of De Kleine Bandiet was written by Joseph Suasso de Lima. Called a "farcical tragedy" it was based on the 5-act tragedy Aballino, De Groote Bandiet by Heinrich Zschokke, and was written in response to Clasius by his arch-rival C.E. Boniface, which had been an outright attack on him. It was never published.

However, it is also likely that this was simply a localized version of Gravé's Flodoardo van Overschie, of Aballino, Junior, though the anti-Boniface element is certainly apparent.
