Till Eulenspiegel is the greatest trickster of all time! Ten amusing episodes from the life of the famous jester, retold by Manfred Mai, are sure to bring a smile to your class: Till sells the landgrave a painting that no one can see. By the time the fine court society notices the deception, he is long gone. Even the clever professors are made fools by Eulenspiegel: he claims that he can teach a donkey to read. The scholars are quite astonished when the teacher soon reports the first successes of his animal pupil: the donkey has already learned the letters "I" and "A." Whether baker, innkeeper, duke, or landgrave, no one is safe from Eulenspiegel's pranks!
