Summary "Geschichte des Prinzen Biribinker" by Christoph Martin Wieland is a satirical fairy tale written in the mid-18th century. The narrative likely takes place in an imaginative realm, incorporating elements of humor alongside classical fairy tale motifs. At its center is Prince Biribinker, whose journey is filled with whimsical adventures and magical encounters that not only entertain but also convey deeper moral lessons. The opening of the narrative introduces a kingdom so obscure that no notable historian has recorded its history. It quickly establishes the character of the king, who is described as a peaceful ruler obsessed with his lavish meals, and hints at his extraordinary physical traits. This whimsical yet seemingly meaningless king is set to marry a princess determined by an academic committee. When the queen gives birth to the beautiful Prince Biribinker, the future seems bright but shrouded in the uncertain prophecy of a vengeful fairy. The tale's humor unfolds as the choice of a wet nurse between a bee and a goat illustrates the absurdity of royal decisions, leaving the reader eager for Biribinker's adventures that promise a mix of enchantment and wit.
