Slovenly Kate and Other Stories: From the Struwwelpeter Library - Paperback
by Heinrich Hoffmann (Author), Theodor Hosemann (Illustrator)
OH fie on Kate untidy girl,
With dirty face, hair out of curl,
Who soils each dress, however neat,
First with the pudding, then with meat.
More like a little pig is she,
Than what a tidy girl should be
Frankfurt physician Heinrich Hoffmann wrote and illustrated his darkly humorous Struwwelpeter as a Christmas present for his 3-year-old son. A series of cautionary tales, it recounted in verse and images the lamentable fates of naughty children. Struwwelpeter has since gone through hundreds of editions and is published in almost every European language.
