Max and Maurice

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.
