Specimens of German Romance; Vol. II. Master Flea
Edited by George Soane
"Master Flea" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a humorous fairytale fantasy novel published in 1822. Set in Frankfurt am Main, it follows Peregrinus Tyss as he becomes entangled in a supernatural conflict over Dörtje Elverdink, who is actually Princess Gamaheh of Famagusta. The novel was censored before publication due to scenes mocking the court system, with significant portions removed from the fourth and fifth adventures. These missing sections weren't revealed until 1906, making Hoffmann's final intentions unclear.
