Description

A bilingual edition, reproducing the German verse & colored illustrations of the definitive 1861 edition of Der Struwwelpeter. This children's classic (it has been translated into over 30 languages) was written by a Frankfort doctor, Henrich Hoffman, for his three-year-old son Carl's 1844 Christmas. Each of the ten stories is freely translated into English verse - a translator of verse into verse has to write a new original. Sequels are added, set in today's America of Illinois & California & Texas. Some of the stories are softened: Pauline & Suppenkaspar are made to survive unhurt, Robert lands safely & Conrad gets his thumbs back thanks to modern surgery. Hanns grows up to become an astronomer & bird-watcher. At the end of the book, "The Struwwelshrink" protests in verse against the fanciful Freudian "meanings" that are sometimes read into Hoffmann's straightforward little cautionary tales by the over-imaginative.
