by Johann Peter Hebel

Kalendergeschichten, written by Johann Peter Hebel, is a collection of short stories originally published in the Rheinländischer Hausfreund, a popular almanac in early 19th century Germany. These tales, known for their engaging narrative style, blend elements of folklore, humor, and didacticism. They offer a window into the everyday life and customs of the time, while also imparting valuable lessons and moral insights. Each story, whether it be a witty anecdote, a playful Schwank, or a reimagined fairy tale, aims to entertain and educate the reader.
