Märchen-Almanach auf das Jahr 1826
By Wilhelm Hauff
A caravan of merchants crosses the desert, and to pass the time each traveller tells a story. Among them are Caliph Stork, who forgets the magic word that would turn him back into a man, the ghost ship, and Little Muck with his magic slippers. Wilhelm Hauff's first fairy-tale almanac, opened by an allegory of the fairy tale itself.
Summary written with Claude Opus 5.5.
