Max and Moritz #[nn]

"Max and Moritz: A Juvenile History in Seven Tricks" delivers a delightfully mischievous tale from Wilhelm Busch, whose original artwork and sharp wit shine through in this 1962 Dover edition. Translated by Abby Langdon Alger and typeset with period precision, the story follows two boys whose pranks take a turn for the absurd—starting with a blow gun aimed through a fence hole, leading to a moment of unexpected consequence. The original cover, penciled and inked by Busch himself, captures the story’s playful, slightly chaotic spirit.
