'Peterchen's Mondfahrt' is a timeless classic of children's literature. This wonderful translation to English of the19th Century masterpiece captures all the magic of the imagination that I remember as a child when my mother read it to me. Peter and his younger sister Anneli begin a journey to the moon at night, meeting various elements of nature (wind, lightning, thunder, the constellations) as fascinating personages. A truly magnificent children's story that gave me hours of pleasure reading to my kids, because, just as in 'Alice in Wonderland', there's something for adults between the lines too.

Peter and Anneli Journey to the Moon Gerdt Von Bassewitz Hans Baluschek Marianne H Luedeking 9780880105842 Books Reviews

This most charming book accompanied me all through my childhood.
Over here in Germany it was the Christmas Story in the 1950ies and
1960ies. The illustrations in the book are gorgeous, too.

The story deals with two good children, Peter and Anneli, whom
the June bug Sumsemann has chosen to help him to get his lost
leg back.
Thus they have to travel to the moon and on their journey to the moon man,
who is in possession of Sumsemann's leg,
they encounter various forces of nature, such as the thunder man, the
moon fairy, the water man, the thunderstorm witch. With all of those
they share some thrilling adventures.

Eventually, the book, even became a movie. It was broadcasted always
in December for Christmas.

The story is a wonderful reading for both children and adults, who didn't
forget about their childhood.
memories .... loved this book as a child MANY moons ago ...
Good edition. The quality of the graphics is not as good as in the German edition.
I grew up with this story and the English translation in this book is done very well, lovely pictures add to the experience. We have been reading this book for a few days now and we all love this beautiful story. My son can barely wait for his bedtime story!
Beautiful children's book. I love the illustrations, and it's nice to see my niece and nephew as enchanted by the store of Peter and Anneli(ese), as I used to be as a young kid.
Translation of the original story (in German) is very well done.
I greatly enjoy reading it out loud.
This classic of early 20th century German children's literature is finally in English, first published as a stage play in 1912 then issued as a book in 1915. The plot centers on the journey to recover one of the severed legs from the moon of a certain violin playing june bug, Mr. Zoomzeman. His ancestors leg was offed by a thuggish woodman who was banished to the moon for all time by the Fairy of the Night. With the possibility of the leg being retrieved if Mr. Zoomzeman can find two good children who have never harmed an animal and are willing to join him on this journey to the moon. Enter Peter and Anneli.

Fantastic characters in an odd juxtaposed animistic and Christian universe come into play as characters in aiding the children and Mr. Zoomzeman in recovering the long missing leg. The nearest work in comparison to von Bassewitz's work is surely Maeterlinck's "The Blue Bird". My only serious complaint is the translation of the rhymes & songs in the book seem clunky and wooden in their English versions.

Though not a major addition to children's literature, it is a fun and memorable adventure that lingers with the reader both young & old.
