Der Struwwelpeter 1845 is a popular German children's book by Heinrich Hoffmann which has been translated into English. It comprises ten illustrated and rhymed stories, mostly about children. Each has a clear moral that demonstrates the disastrous consequences of misbehavior in an exaggerated way. The title of the first story provides the title of the whole book. Literally translated, Struwwel-Peter means Shaggy-Peter.

Not impressed by what the stores had to offer, he instead bought a notebook and wrote his own stories and pictures. Hoffmann was persuaded by friends to publish the book anonymously as Lustige Geschichten und drollige Bilder mit 15 schön kolorierten Tafeln für Kinder von 3-6 Jahren Funny Stories and Jocose Pictures with 15 Beautifully Coloured Panels for Children Aged 3 to 6 in 1845. It was not until the third ion in 1858 that the book was published under the title Struwwelpeter. Struwwelpeter has been translated into several languages. The first English translation appeared in 1848. Mark Twain's English translation of the book is called Slovenly Peter. In 2006, Fantagraphics Books published the first completely digital version of Struwwelpeter, reinterpreted and illustrated by Bob Staake.

In Die Geschichte von den schwarzen Buben The Story of the Inky Boys, Nikolas that is, Saint Nicholas1 catches three boys teasing a dark-skinned boy. To teach them a lesson, he dips the three boys in black ink, to make them even darker-skinned than the boy they'd teased. Die Geschichte von dem wilden Jäger The Story of the Wild Huntsman is the only story not primarily focused on children. In it, a rabbit steals a hunter's rifle and eyeglasses and begins to hunt the hunter. In the ensuing chaos the rabbit's child is burned by hot coffee.

International curiosities In one English version of The Story of the Inky Boys Nikolas is Tall Agrippa. In the same version there are more differences - for instance The Story of the Wild Huntsman is now The Story of the Man Who Went Out Shooting. In The Dreadful Story of Pauline and the Matches or ...Harriet and the Matches in this version the cats are not named. In other versions they are - the original German was Minz and Maunz. Also in this version, The Story of Kaspar who did not have any Soup becomes The Story of Augustus Who Would Not Have Any Soup. Stage adaptations Shockheaded Peter SHP is a musical entertainment based on Struwwelpeter, created by Julian Bleach, Anthony Cairns, Julian Crouch, Graeme Gilmour, Tamzin Griffin, Jo Pocock, Phelim McDermott, Michael Morris and The Tiger Lillies Martyn Jacques, Adrian Huge and Adrian Stout. SHP combines elements of pantomime and puppetry with musical versions of the poems. Generally, the songs closely follow the text of the poems, but there are significant differences, tending towards giving the songs a much darker tone than the poems. Whereas the children in the poems only sometimes die, in the musical they all do. Commissioned by the West Yorkshire Playhouse in Leeds and the Hammersmith Lyric in West London, the show debuted in 1998 in Leeds before moving to London and subsequently to world tours. In 2006 a new production of the tales, called Struwwelpeter - In English! was taken to the 60th Edinburgh Festival in August. The production used a variety of magic, mime, physical theatre, and black-comedy to recreate the tales. The show had a sell-out run and is returning in 2007 for a second run of the sell out show.1 Psychological interpretation Apart from Struwwelpeter, other descriptions, especially Fidgety Philip Zappelphillip and John-Look-in-the-Air Hans-Guck-in-die-Luft, are strongly believed to describe persons with Attention Deficit Disorder. In Germany, ADD is often called the Zappelphillip-Syndrom. Influence and references There is a Struwwelpeter museum in Frankfurt, Germany. The comic book writer Grant Morrison drew inspiration from Struwwelpeter during his tenure on the DC comic Doom Patrol when inventing several enemy monsters. The Tailor from The Story of Little Suck-a-Thumb provided inspiration for the Scissormen in issues #19 to #22, where Struwwelpeter is quoted directlycitation needed, and apparitions named The Inky Boys and Flying Robert appear in #25, along with a special cameo appearance by a Scissorman. Adolf Hitler was parodied as a Struwwelpeter caricature in 1941 in a book called Struwwelhitler published in Britain under the pseudonym Dr. Schrecklichkeit. Jasper Fforde's book The Fourth Bear features a town with terrified, but obedient children, who always eat their soup, don't play with matches, and don't suck their thumbs. Some folks in town are actually missing their thumbs, courtesy of a scissor wielding maniac in red pants. In M. J. Trow's pastiche The Adventures of Inspector Lestrade, the Scotland Yard detective investigates a continuing series of murders patterned after the Struwwelpeter cautionary tales. In Hellblazer # 204, Struwwelpeter Shockheaded Peter is summoned to fight childhood fears. About him it is said that 'He was the worst, the scariest, so I made him be on my side'. Dwight Schrute in The Office tries to read Struwwelpeter to several young children on Take Your Daughter to Work Day. Alan Moore created a rookie officer named Shock-Headed Pete, who had electric current running through his head, for the America's Best Comics series Top 10. In Rosetta Loy's La porta del acqua, 2000: Rizzoli; Milano, the infant persona's German governess Anne-Marie is continually reading blood-thirsty stories from Struwwelpeter In 1999 the pagan-rock band Inkubus Sukkubus released a song entitled Struwwelpeter on the album Wild album released by Resurrection Records.
