Annotation:Like Mother Goose, Alice in Wonderland, Grimms', Perrault's and Andersen's Fairy Tales, Max und Moritz, Pinocchio, and Mickey Mouse, Heinrich Hoffmann's Der Struwwelpeter is a world classic of children's literature. Never out of print after its first edition of 1845 and issued by numerous publishers, it has been a bestseller in Germany ever since. While few children in English speaking countries grow up with the book today, "Struwwelpeter" (or "Shock-headed Peter" or "Slovenly Peter") was a very familiar figure in their grandparents' and great-grandparents' nursery. The first English version (of over twenty different ones), titled The English Struwwelpeter, was published in Leipzig in 1848. Although not a very close translation, it has remained by far the most popular and still has great appeal today. It is this version with its particular nineteenth century charm which we reissue here exactly 160 years after its first publication. The German original is found in the appendix.
