Beers & Books (420) – The tale of prince Biribinker

Prince Biribinker is a strange child:
raised by bees, he pees the purest nectar 
and when he does his big business, 
confectionery is served in royal society. 
Everything could go on as sweet as honey 
if the old magician Padmanaba didn't have his fingers in the pie.

Christoph Martin Wieland (5 September 1733 – 20 Januar 1813)

Beers & Books (414) – Geschichte des Prinzen Biribinker

The Story of Prince Biribinker
is considered the first literary fairy tale
to be published in the German language (1769).
Glorious. ;-)
