Struwwelpeter! Ah Yes! I have previously mentioned elsewhere on CB+ that I was introduced to this by finding it in my Grandfather's study when I was very young. Weird as we now find it, it was actually somewhat typical of its times. Translates as 'Shock-headed' or 'Shaggy-haired' Peter' If he looks familiar, here's why! The influence of struwwelpeter. https://www.nypl.org/blog/2013/05/15/influence-struwwelpeter There is another copy on the site, somewhat differently named, but I can't find it, even with a search. This is an excellent edition, thanks to Lyons.

An Austrian friend of my parents gave this to us. My reaction, even as a small child, was, "THIS is supposed to be merry and funny?" The version you've posted looks to be a poor copy of the one I have, which is also found at Gutenberg, at https://www.gutenberg.org/files/12116/12116-h/12116-h.htm. In any event, thank you very much for posting this grim little reminder of what was once considered appropriate for children.

An English version of "Struwwelpeter", how nice. :-) Pedagogy from the devil's waiting room, haha. :-) Until the 1960s, this book was very common in German children's rooms, I know that for sure. ;-)

I just noticed, that there are many more stories in the English version than in the German original version and the drawings also are not original, but only the original style, according to the note on the flyleaf. I find this very interesting and will try to get more information on this subject.

Cheerful stories because they are not happening to me, I guess that is the appeal.
