Summary "Peterchens Mondfahrt: Ein Märchenspiel" by Gerdt von Bassewitz is a children's play written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around two children, Peterchen and Anneliese, who embark on a whimsical adventure to the moon with a friendly May beetle named Sumsemann. Their primary goal is to retrieve Sumsemann's lost sixth leg, which was taken by the Moon Man, leading them into a fantastical and engaging exploration. The opening of the play sets a charming scene in the children’s bedroom, where they are being put to bed by their maid, Minna. As they settle in, Peterchen mentions having seen a May beetle, which sparks curiosity and a bit of mischief. Following their bedtime routine, the children express their dreams and fears, and they discuss the presence of the beetle. Once they are asleep, the atmosphere shifts as the May beetle comes to life, expressing its sadness and launching the adventure. The whimsical dialogue and character interactions hint at the blend of magic and humor that characterizes the entire tale, setting the stage for the adventure to come.
