Georg Schütze and Marco Pfennig recite the entertaining verses and, accompanied by a historical “picture guide,” present the truly comical and magnificently exaggerated drawings. The individual stories are linked and framed by original compositions by the two musicians. With vocals, acoustic guitar, and percussion, the music makes direct reference to the events and protagonists of the stories. In his masterfully rhymed texts and brilliantly observed drawings, Busch embeds the realistic mischief of the pranks in finely calibrated wit and irony. Free from moralizing, these stories offer a pleasant contrast to today’s zeitgeist.

An entertaining and thought-provoking reading with games and music—a must-see for children and teens as well!

Duration: one hour, no intermission.
