Der Struwwelpeter is a children’s book by Heinrich Hoffmann, a paediatrist from my hometown Frankfurt. I was surprised to see an old German edition in a London second hand bookshop. Der Struwwelpeter – Shockhead Peter – has been very popular in England since it was first published here in 1848. The band The Tiger Lillies recently produced a musical based on the book.
