Synopsis

This extraordinary book of cautionary tales (in verse) by the author of Struwwelpeter describes the terrible fates that await bad children. Slovenly Kate is a messy eater and she is made to eat with the pigs; but her punishment is as nothing compared to that of Screaming Annie, who is taken by a stork and fed on frogs, or cowardly Fred who is simply thrown away by the maid. This book is a republication of the 1875 edition, illustrated by Theodor Hosemann. Age 10+

About the Author:

Frankfurt physician Heinrich Hoffmann wrote and illustrated his darkly humorous Struwwelpeter as a Christmas present for his 3-year-old son. A series of cautionary tales, it recounted in verse and images the lamentable fates of naughty children. Struwwelpeter has since gone through hundreds of editions and is published in almost every European language.
