Der Struwwelpeter

Funny stories and droll pictures of Dr. Heinrich Hoffmann

In the book, Hoffmann tells stories of children who are not good, who do not listen to their parents and who therefore suffer all kinds of cruel calamities: The "bitter Friederich" who torments animals is punished accordingly ("Then the dog bit him in that Leg, quite deep down into the blood ”); Paulinchen burns because she plays with matches; the children who mock the Moor are stuffed into a huge inkwell and colored even blacker; the flying Robert with his umbrella is carried away by the wind, never to be seen again, because he leaves the house in spite of the prohibition; Konrad's thumbs are cut off by the tailor because he is secretly suckling on it. In addition, there is also the story of the hare targeting the hunter with his own shotgun.
