Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Struwwelpeter: Or Merry Rhymes And Funny Pictures is a children's book written and illustrated by Heinrich Hoffmann. Originally published in Germany in 1845, the book features a collection of cautionary tales in rhyme, accompanied by vivid and often humorous illustrations. The stories are designed to teach children about the consequences of misbehaving or not following rules, and include such characters as the thumb-sucker who loses his thumb to a pair of scissors, the girl who plays with matches and burns to death, and the boy who refuses to eat his soup and wastes away. Despite the dark subject matter, the book has remained a popular classic for generations, and has been translated into numerous languages. This particular edition was published in 1903 and features the original German text alongside an English translation.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
