Let's make this birthday one to remember.

91 years old (Born on November 13, 1933)

Happy Birthday, Peter Härtling! With each passing year, your literary legacy only grows brighter—much like Oma's wisdom increasing gracefully with age. You've masterfully turned life's hurdles into heartfelt lessons that resonate with readers young and old.

Who else could write about the misadventures of childhood as eloquently and hilariously as in Das war der Hirbel? Your timeless stories remind us all to approach life’s struggles—not just aging relatives or tough school days—with compassion, humor, and a pinch of poetry.

Here's wishing you many more years filled with inspiration, good health (hopefully better than Oma's!), laughter—and minimal plot twists!
