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.
