An einem unfreundlichen Novembertage wanderte ein armes Schneiderlein auf der Landstraße nach Goldach, einer kleinen reichen Stadt, die nur wenige Stunden von Seldwyla entfernt ist.

A really fun story about a poor Tailor who gets mistaken for a rich duke (or count?), makes the best of it, and learns a valuable lesson in the end. Typical school fodder that I never read, and I don't think I would have liked to wade through this novella looking for tropes and learning about history, but a good read for an entertaining afternoon.
