Der Struwwelpeter: Heinrich Hoffmann’s Deadly Book For Naughty Children

0

Heinrich Hoffmann, a German physician, created “Der Struwwelpeter” in 1845 after failing to find a suitable Christmas gift for his three-year-old son.

This collection of illustrated rhyming stories depicts children facing dire consequences for misbehavior, such as a girl who plays with matches and burns to death, and a boy who refuses to eat his soup and starves. The tales, characterized by their dark humor and moral lessons, have drawn comparisons to Edward Gorey’s works and continue to be both celebrated and critiqued for their stark portrayal of discipline.
