    About this ebook

    Max and Moritz: A Tale of Seven Boyish Jokes, also known as Max und Moritz - Eine Bubengeschichte in sieben Streichen, is a German illustrated poetry narrative. Wilhelm Busch wrote and drew this very innovative and amusing story, delivered completely in rhythmic stanzas. Many people who are familiar with the history of comics find it to be an uplifting and humorous read. This classic tale became a proud part of the culture in German-speaking countries. Even today, parents usually read these tales to their not-yet-literate children.

    Wilhelm Busch

    Wilhelm Busch (1832–1908) was a German humorist, poet, illustrator and painter. He contributed satirical sketches to German weekly papers and wrote short verse narratives accompanied by illustrations, which are now considered to be forerunners of the comic strip. Max and Morit, his most famous work, was published in 1865.
