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

@pedroveraOyP Los alemanes siempre han sido pioneros en educación infantil, solo hay que leer el Struwwelpeter https://t.co/fZvjhc4ub8
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. #WyrdWednesday

Childhood cautions and consequences: don’t stray from the path; don’t suck your thumb; cut your hair and nails; don’t misbehave at Christmas! (Images: The Company of Wolves/Struwwelpeter, Heinrich Hoffman/Krampus print, artist unknown) #FairyTaleTuesday

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. 📚

Danger from magical creatures, animals, beastly humans + a moral lesson: Charles Perrault's fairytales may have inspired moralistic Victorian children’s tales like Struwwelpeter & The Tribulations of Tommy Tiptop:beastly behaviour in children leads to a bad end #FolkloreThursday

#Struwwelpeter 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.
