About this ebook
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.
