Struwwelpeter is all about children getting punished in the nastiest possible ways for their awful misdeeds. I loved this book when I was a kid. I also loved Disney, but I grew out of that, except for Bambi. Have to love Bambi.

My two personal favourites of the stories are firstly, Conrad, aka Little Suck-a-Thumb who was told that if he didn't stop plugging his mouth with his thumb he would get it cut off. And when he didn't and his mother was out, the nasty Scissorman came and snip snap, both thumbs gone!

Secondly is Augustus, my no. one favourite, who starved himself to death rather than drink the nasty soup he was served for lunch. I had some sympathy there as more than once I had to sit at the lunch table, even missing school in the afternoon, because I wouldn't drink up the nasty chicken soup. (view spoiler) Or another time, wouldn't eat the liver casserole, cold with congealed floating grease, or lamb chops glistening with fat...

These sort of stories were much more satisfying to me as a child being delightfully shivery.

But there was something else. Children have a very highly developed sense of justice. They are forever saying, "it's not fair" about some perceived injustice. Stories like these where naughty children get their comeuppance appeal to kids, they see the fitness of a punishment, rather than the forgiveness and sugary reward and happily-ever-after od Disney that never actually comes their way when they've been very naughty little boys and girls.

You can read all the stories and see the original hand-coloured woodblock prints on the Gutenberg site.

This is one of those picture books I grew up with, and so I have an unreasonable amount of love for it, even though it's kind of awful? Credit goes to my German-speaking mom, although I'm not sure if she shared this book with my siblings and me because she thought it was a funny book or was trying to scare us straight.

This is a German children's book first published in 1845, when society (particularly in Germany, I suspect) was much in the mode of "spare the rod and spoil the child." No children being spoiled here! There are ten stories, pretty much all intended to show the horrible things (maiming, death, etc.) that happen if you are a disobedient or misbehaving child. For example:

In "Die gar traurige Geschichte mit dem Feuerzeug" (The Very Sad Story with the Match), a girl plays with matches and is burned to death. A pile of ashes is all that remains of her. Her cats (who tried to warn her to stay away from the matches) are crying a river of tears.
description

Just like my cat would if anything ever happened to me, I'm sure.

In "Die Geschichte vom Daumenlutscher" (The Story of the Thumb-Sucker)--my favorite as a child!--the mother warns her son Konrad not to suck his thumbs, or the tailor (literally, the "cutter"), who apparently has nothing better to do than scope around for thumb-sucking children, will come and snip them right off. But as soon she leaves the house, pop! his thumb goes right back into his mouth. Suddenly this huge tailor leaps into the room and cuts off his thumbs with a giant scissors! Bam!!
description

The last picture shows Konrad standing there sadly, with little stumps where his thumbs used to be. Good times!

And so it goes. It's even a tiny bit liberal for its time: There's a story about a guy hunting rabbits where a hare grabs the gun while he's asleep and turns it on him (HAH! Take that!), and another where three boys who are making fun of an African's dark skin are dipped in ink by a giant Nicholas so they can find out what it really means to be black.

This line from the Wikipedia article on this book cracks me up: "Hoffmann wrote Struwwelpeter in reaction to the lack of good children's books. Intending to buy a picture book as a Christmas present for his three-year-old son, Hoffmann instead wrote and illustrated his own book." Okay, I thought this was hilarious as a child, but I'm not sure sharing it with a 3 y/o is the way to go. But there it says, right on the title page: "Humorous stories and droll pictures, for children 3-6 years old." I do NOT recommend this for the little ones, just for the record.

Anyway, this poetry book is a classic, in its own weird and gruesome way. And I read it many, many times as a child, and I turned out fine! (SHUT UP!)

I read these classic morality tales enough times as a kid that I knew large chunks by heart. But, let's face it, back then they were seriously out of date, and now they're so archaic that they aren't amusing even as kitsch. No wonder most children today haven't heard of them.

So why doesn't someone produce an updated edition? I'm sure it wouldn't be difficult. Here are some suggestions:

According to recent research there was an additional story meant for publication, but was somehow missing from the final book. So, in addition to the stories of the Shock-headed Peter, Cruel Frederick, Fidgety Philip, and Johnny Head-in-Air we can expect to read the following story in future editions of the Struwwelpeter:

The story of the Lyin’ Donald

Since childhood, it is sad to tell,
young Donald did not behave well.
From morning when he bared his eyes
’til nightfall, all he told was lies.
The truth to Don was nothing more
than “one and one and one makes four”.



His wordbook he liked to deface
and blacked out honesty and grace.
Became a scoundrel and a crook,
took some advice from Adolf’s book.



He one day ran for president,
still kept on lyin’ with intent.
He lost the ballot. That was sweet
when he cried out Rip-Off!, Swindle!, Cheat!



And kept on crying through the night
his face turned red then blue then white.
When finally his heart gave out
he hit the floor flat on his snout.



He kept there lying stiff and still
but no one cared of him until
a pig appeared and snacked him quick
and only left behind his wig.

A classic German children's book, but one that, in my opinion, is or rather can be too violent and also at times too strictly pedagogical for children, or rather, some children. I was actually frightened by a number of the tales when I was a child, and while I have much more of an appreciation for and of Der Struwwelpeter as an adult, it is my firm belief that many of the recounted anecdotes (as well as the illustrations, and in many ways, these even more so) can be rather majorly creepy for ima ...more

I think I wished some serious consequences would come their way), I mostly remember poring over the wonderful illustrations. I particularly liked the portrayal of animals- loved the rabbit wearing spectacles and toting a gun.(I had forgotten all about this until recently reading Petra's great review. Thanks Petra!)

Some of these have mild punishments for misbehaving, while others are down right horrific.

Children today, overall, are so desensitized and at early ages that most probably wouldn't have nightmares after hearing these, especially if read in that sing songy way one reads rhymes. That being said, if you have a sensitive child, you may want to skip a few of these, I know at a young age my daughter would have not enjoyed a few of these, and honestly even now as a teen she would probably say, really, why, she prefers happy things, well most of us do.

I would give this edition an additional star because it would be a wonderful resource for someone that is learning, our wanting to brush up on, their German or Latin. Each rhyme is presented in all the languages, the third being English. Originally written in German they have become a favorite to be translated into Latin because the easily transform into the medieval poetry pattern. Enough and Latin see only the top of the iceberg as far as translations go, these have been translated into over 100 different languages/dialects. This edition also includes a section at the end where the works have been modernized a bit and presented in English only. These modernizations kept with the original, but mostly looked at changing a few words here and there to use terminology that would make more sense to today's children. Of course, as with any good children's book, colorful pictures can be found accompanying the tales as well.

I also placed a hold on Struwwelpeter: Humor or Horror?: 160 Years Later to see what "they" have to say about Heinrich Hoffman's work. It is ready for me to pick up, so should be able to post review on it in a few days as well. ...more

Loved this book. Had been trying to get it for years and now I finally have! There's lots of reviews of people saying it's horrifying and cruel and with zero psychological value, and I couldn't disagree more! First of all, the stories ain't all that terrible and shouldn't be taken so literally. The author wasn't killing real kids, was he? And there's a lesson behind almost every story. For example, take the one about the girl playing with matches and getting burn. Isn't that a true thing? Loved this book. Had been trying to get it for years and now I finally have!

For example, take the one about the girl playing with matches and getting burn. Isn't that a true thing? Doesn't that still happen nowadays? Maybe if parents told their kids the real consequences about their actions there might be less 'accidents'.

Secondly, I think this book is of great cultural and psychological value, a small window to what people taught to their kids back in the 1800s. I immediately started thinking about the Grimm brother's fairy tales, which was published around thirty years before Struwwelpeter. And Daniel Paul Schreber's mental illness case came to mind too! His father (Moritz Schreber) was a physician, university teacher and children's health eminence; his methods were so radical and cruel that they're classified now as part of something called 'Poisonous Pedagogy'. This 'physician' was alive around the time Struwwelpeter was published (actually, his son was born two years before that, so I take it Papa Schreber read it to him quite gladly). It's amazing how it all comes together!

I'm not saying you should tell your kids they're gonna get their fingers cut off if they won't stop sucking them (which reminds me of Little Hans, a 5 year old that developed a serious phobia of horses after his mother told him he would get his penis cut off if he kept touching it. Oh, sweet Germany! Thank heavens Freud came into the picture...). Yet, I do think kids should be treated as beings capable of dialogging and understanding the dangers that come with some actions, even if the consequences are not very Disney-like.

Stop being so outraged, people. Maybe 150 years ahead in the future parents will be freaked out by Dr. Seuss books, who knows? ...more

Book review for learners of German:

We all know the original Grimm’s fairy tales were more gruesome than the Disney stories we grew up watching. Der Struwwelpeter is another example of a children’s book that today’s parents find shocking even though the book has been read to children for generations. Nearly every German knows this story, so it is culturally significant. But, no, I would not read this to my daughter. You can view it for free on Project Gutenberg (gutenberg.org).
