IN a beautiful distant kingdom, in which the sun never goes down on its everlasting green gardens, ruled, from the beginning of time even to the present day, Queen Phantasie. With full hands, she used to distribute the abundance of her blessings among her subjects. She did this for many hundreds of years, and was beloved and respected by all who knew her. The heart of the Queen, however, was too great to allow her to stop at her own land with her charities. One day a messenger brought her news of a place called Earth.

Die Texte beleuchten die Virtuosität von Wilhelm Hauffs Erzählkunst. Darüber hinaus bietet der Band bislang unveröffentlichte Dokumente. Der Auftritt Wilhelm Hauffs (1802-1827) auf der literarischen Bühne der Biedermeierzeit war kurz, skandalumwittert und publikumswirksam. Dieser junge Autor verstand es meisterlich, auf der Klaviatur des Geschmacks und des Marktes zu spielen.
