As a former German student I came across C. G. Leland's works some decades before. His excellent knowing of German student life and songs date from the time when he was a student in Heidelberg.
He also wrote some excellent and funny poems in Chinese pidgin; there is a translation of Excelsior! = Topside galore! which nearly made me roll laughing and frolicking on the floor.
Very funny, too, the story about the orphan in a missionary's house who is educated by the Chinese servants and never having heard about Jesus is burning joss sticks on a Chinese altar.
I strongly recommend his works for R&R and a good laugh.
