Wyrd Wed explores death this week. So let’s visit the German children’s book, ‘Struwwelpeter,’ or ‘Shockheaded Peter,’ of 1845. Tortuous amputation happens to the unruly Peter -ie for sucking his thumb -by the Scissorman! Hoffman’s book still frightens 😱#WyrdWednesday

Der Struwwelpeter (1895) by Heinrich Hoffmann is a German collection of rhyming cautionary tales for children. For example, a girl plays with matches & burns to death. A boy who sucks his thumb gets his thumb cut off. A boy who refuses soup starves to death.

Hoffmann’s “Der Struwwelpeter,” from 1845, is a terrifying, German children’s book. In moralizing tales, children are gravely punished for “bad” deeds —like “shaggy Peter’s” hygiene, & thumb-sucking! 😂Chilling images were burned into kids’ memories forever. 📚

by Heinrich Hoffmann is a collection of moral tales from 1845.

The stories end with horrendous consequences for naughty children like the boy who wouldnt stop sucking his thumbs so they were cut off.

Its a favourite from my childhood.
