"Peterchens Mondfahrt: Ein Märchenspiel" by Gerdt von Bassewitz is a fairy tale written in 1912. When Mr. Sumsemann, the last of his beetle family, visits two children's nursery, he shares a remarkable quest: to recover his ancestor's lost sixth leg from the moon. Peter and Anneliese agree to help, embarking on a magical flight through the night sky. They encounter the Sandman's star meadow, ride sleighs across the Milky Way, and meet nature spirits at the Night Fairy's castle, seeking aid for their perilous lunar journey.
